Paragraph 31 Effect of remarriage or subsequent civil partnershipI1

A person entitled to a pension under this Part who remarries or forms a subsequent civil partnership is not entitled to receive any payment on account of the pension in respect of any subsequent period; but if the marriage or civil partnership is dissolved or the other party dies the Board may pay the whole or any part of the pension for such period after the dissolution or death.

Where a person entitled to a gratuity under this Part remarries or forms a subsequent civil partnership any part of the gratuity that has not already been paid (“the outstanding amount”) ceases to be payable; but if the marriage or civil partnership is dissolved or the other party to it dies the Board may pay the person the whole or any part of the outstanding amount.
