Paragraph 35 Pensionable service under the existing police pension schemeI1

This paragraph applies in relation to a transition member with continuity of service (T).

The provisions of the existing police pension scheme relating to purchase of increased benefits continue to apply after the closing date F1, but not after 31st March 2022, as if T continued in pensionable service under that scheme.

T may choose to end payments for added 60ths or added years after joining this scheme.

In determining whether T qualifies under the existing police pension scheme for retirement benefits (other than an ill-health pension), T’s pensionable service under that scheme terminates when T’s pensionable service under this scheme terminates.

In determining T’s final salary for any purposes of the existing police pension scheme under Schedule 7 to the Act (final salary link), pensionable earnings derived from service under this scheme are to be regarded as derived from service under the existing police pension scheme.
