Paragraph 87 Transfers from Firefighters’ Pension FundI1
Northern Ireland
Where, in consequence of a review under article 49—
a higher tier ill-health pension is cancelled before all the instalments of the higher tier ill-health charge in respect of that pension have been transferred in accordance with article 86; and
a lower tier ill-health pension continues to be paid,
the amount referred to in paragraph (2) shall be transferred from the FPF to any other fund maintained by the Board.
The amount is an amount equal to the difference between—
the aggregate of such instalments of the higher tier ill-health charge as have been transferred in accordance with article 86; and
the aggregate amount that would have been transferred if—
the lower tier ill-health charge had always applied in respect of the pension; and
instalments of that charge had been transferred on the dates on which instalments of the higher tier ill-health charge were transferred.
For the purposes of ascertaining the amount to be transferred in accordance with paragraph (2), the Board shall request the Department to determine the amount of the notional lower tier ill-health charge in respect of the pension concerned.
Where a person’s entitlement to higher tier ill-health pension or a lower tier ill-health pension has wholly and permanently ceased under any provision of Part 9, paragraph (4) or (5) of article 50 (as the case may be) shall be disregarded in his case (to the extent that it remain to be compiled with); and the Board shall transfer from the FPF to any other fund maintained by it an amount equal to the aggregate of the instalments that have been transferred to the FPF in respect of the pension entitlement to which has ceased.
