Paragraph 35

For Part V of Schedule 3 (spouse’s requisite benefit pension) substitute—

“1.

Subject to paragraph 2, the amount of a requisite benefit pension is 1 divided by 160 of the deceased’s average pensionable pay multiplied by the period in years of so much of his pensionable service as is reckonable by virtue of service or employment after 5th April 1978.

2.

Where some or all of the deceased’s service, which is reckonable as pensionable service, was part-time service, the amount of a requisite benefit pension shall be calculated using the formula in paragraph 2 of Part VIA of Schedule 2.

3.

In making the calculation mentioned in paragraph 2, for the value of A there shall be substituted “A is the amount calculated under paragraph 1 of Part V of Schedule 3 if the average pensionable pay was the pay the deceased would have received had he been a whole-time member of a brigade” and in relation to B, C and D only pensionable service after 5th April 1978 shall be counted.”.
