Provided that this regulation shall not apply to a regular police officer–
(a) who has made an election under regulation 9 which had effect at the time of that officer’s retirement;
(b) who under regulation 8 is ineligible for pension awards payable on the ground of permanent disablement; or
(c) who has attained the age of 55 at the time of that officer’s retirement, and in such a case that policeman shall be entitled to an ordinary pension under regulation 27 instead of an ill-health pension as provided in this regulation.
(2) Subject to the provisions of these Regulations, a regular police officer to whom this regulation applies shall be entitled to an ill-health pension as provided in this regulation.
(3) In the case of a regular police officer who, at the time of their retirement–
(a) (i) fulfills the qualifying service criterion; or
(ii) is disabled as the result of an injury received without that officer’s default in the execution of duty; and
(b) in either case, is permanently disabled for the performance of the ordinary duties of a member of the police force but is not permanently disabled for engaging in any regular employment otherwise than as a regular police officer,
the award under paragraph (2) shall be an ill-health pension calculated in accordance with regulation 30 (“a standard ill-health pension”).
(4) In the case of a regular police officer who, at the time of that officer’s retirement, falls within paragraph (3)(a) but is permanently disabled both for the performance of the ordinary duties of a member of the police force and for engaging in any regular employment otherwise than as a regular police officer, the award under paragraph (2) shall comprise–
(a) a standard ill-health pension; and
(b) an additional pension calculated in accordance with regulation 31 (“an enhanced top-up ill-health pension”).
