Paragraph 3 Withdrawal of pension during service as firefighter

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

Subject to paragraph (2), the authority by which a pension under Part 3 is payable may withdraw the whole or any part of the pension for any period during which the person entitled to it is again employed as a firefighter by any authority.

(2)

Where a person who is entitled to pensions under this Scheme in respect of both regular and retained or volunteer service (whether from the same authority or from different authorities)—

(a)

resumes regular service but does not resume retained or volunteer service, or

(b)

resumes retained or volunteer service, but does not resume regular service,

paragraph (1) applies only as regards the pension referable to that person’s previous retained or volunteer service or, as the case may be, the person’s previous regular service.

(3)

An authority may abate a pension to which a person is entitled under Part 3 so long as that person is employed (in whatever capacity) by any authority.

(4)

A person who—

(a)

is entitled to a pension under Part 3, and

(b)

accepts an offer of employment with an authority (in whatever capacity),

must, as soon as reasonably practicable after accepting that offer, give notice in writing to each authority by which a pension is payable to that person under Part 3, specifying the name of that person’s employing authority.
