# Royal Ulster Constabulary Pensions (Amendment) Regulations 1998, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations further amend the Royal Ulster Constabulary Regulations 1988.
Regulation 3 provides for the pension rights of police officers who transfer to the National Criminal Intelligence Service or the National Crime Squad to be preserved or transferred (without payment of a transfer value) at the election of the officer.
Regulation 4(1) enables police officers who have suffered actionable loss by moving to a personal pension scheme to have opted-out or transferred-out service restored on payment of a transfer value to the Police Authority. Regulation 4(2) provides that the age restriction on re-entering the RUC pension arrangements and the requirement to undergo a medical examination before re-entry will not apply to such officers.
