Paragraph 3

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

(1)

Subject to sub-paragraph (2), where in respect of any period a widow so elects, the weekly amount of her accrued pension in respect of that period shall not be calculated as aforesaid but shall be determined by reference to the rank held by her husband in accordance with Regulation E10 (flat-rate award).

(2)

This paragraph shall only apply in the case of a widow whose husband was such a regular policeman entitled to reckon less than 5 years' pensionable service as is mentioned in Regulation B5(1)(b) (policeman’s deferred pension) if, by reason of the period of service or employment otherwise than as a regular policeman there mentioned, he was entitled to reckon a period of pensionable service which was not shorter than that period of service or employment.
