Paragraph 18

This sub-paragraph applies to a regular police officer who has made a transfer election in accordance with regulation 6(8) and who was ineligible for pension awards payable on the ground of permanent disablement under regulation G7 of the 1987 Regulations.

A regular police officer to whom sub-paragraph (1) applies shall be ineligible for pension awards payable on the ground of permanent disablement in respect of the pensionable service that officer is entitled to reckon for the purposes of these Regulations under paragraphs 5 or 8, as applicable; and that officer shall remain so ineligible in respect of such pensionable service even if that officer subsequently makes an election under regulation 9(1) which is later cancelled under regulation 9(5) or that officer retires or otherwise ceases to serve and subsequently rejoins that officer’s force or joins another force.

Subject to paragraph 17, a regular police officer to whom sub-paragraph (1) applies shall also be ineligible for pension awards payable on the ground of permanent disablement for the purposes of these Regulations, as if that officer were so ineligible under regulation 8(5).
