Regulation 46 Entitlement to full retirement pensionI1

A member of this scheme (P) is entitled to the immediate payment for life of a full retirement pension if—

But if P has not reached normal pension age under this scheme, P is not so entitled unless P has at least two years’ qualifying service.

Where P exercises a partial retirement option under regulation 49(2) (exercise of partial retirement option), P is entitled to a full retirement pension under paragraph (1) in respect of the particular office or offices for which the option is being exercised, notwithstanding that P remains in qualifying judicial office.

The claim for payment of a full retirement pension may only be made by notice to the scheme manager in a form required by the scheme manager.

Where P resumes service in qualifying judicial office, this will not affect any entitlement under this regulation.
