Paragraph 7

In regulation E6, for paragraphs (2) to (4) there shall be substituted—

“(2)

Subject to paragraphs (3) and (5), the annual rate of a widow’s long-term pension is the aggregate of—

(a)

one four hundred and eightieth of her husband’s pensionable remuneration multiplied by the length in years of his reckonable service before 1st April 1972, and

(b)

one one hundred and sixtieth of his pensionable remuneration multiplied by the length in years of his reckonable service after 31st March 1972, and

(c)

in the case of a person to whom regulation E2(1)(b)(i) applied or who dies in employment in which he was a pensionable employee, the amount ascertained by multiplying one one hundred and sixtieth of his pensionable remuneration by the length in years of the additional period of reckonable service determined in accordance with Schedule 10 or, in the case of a person who dies in employment as aforesaid, an additional period of reckonable service determined as if at the date of his death he were a person to whom regulation E2(1)(b)(i) applied.

(3)

For the purpose of calculating the rate of the pension under paragraph (2), no account shall be taken of reckonable service before attaining the age of 60 years beyond a total of 40 years, and any reckonable service which is accordingly to be left out of account shall be taken from the beginning of the period of reckonable service.”.
