Paragraph 7 Determination of addition on the notional pension

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

Where the notional pension includes two or more pensions in respect of which section 6 of the Act is applicable in accordance with Part III, and they are all contributory derivative pensions, and two or more of those pensions qualify under Schedule 5 for the increase under a particular Table, or paragraph of a Table, in the Annex to that Schedule—

(a)

the increases under that Table or paragraph in respect of all the pensions which so qualify (as reduced where appropriate under paragraph 4 of that Schedule) shall in total be limited to the increase which would be payable under that Table or paragraph in respect of a single pension of which the rate by reference to which the increase is calculated is the sum of the rates (as the case may be, the increasable rate or that rate as increased under previous Tables) by reference to which the increase under that Table or paragraph in respect of each pension which so qualifies is calculated; and

(b)

the total amount of increases as so limited shall be apportioned among the pensions which so qualify in proportion to the size of the increase which would have been made in respect of each pension but for that limitation.
