Paragraph 2 I1

This paragraph applies to the woman if on reaching pensionable age—

she is married to a person who has reached pensionable age, or

she is in a civil partnership with a person who has reached that age.

The transitional rate of the state pension for the woman is—

The modified amount for the woman's pre-commencement qualifying years alone is the amount that would be calculated under Schedule 1 for her pre-commencement qualifying years alone if the basic pension in any Category A retirement pension calculated for her for the purposes of paragraph 3 of that Schedule were equal to the basic Category B amount.

“The basic Category B amount” is the amount specified in paragraph 5 of Part 1 of Schedule 4 to the Contributions and Benefits Act on 6 April 2016.
