(2) In respect of a teacher referred to in paragraph (1) who dies while employed in reckonable service or while in receipt of an incapacity pension by virtue of regulation 47 and who has at least 5 years' reckonable service, the reckonable service in paragraph (3) shall be enhanced by such number of years as bears to any period which (disregarding any past added years which she elects to purchase) was or could have been added to her reckonable service by virtue of regulation 51 the same as the number of years of her reckonable service after 5th April 1988 bears to her total reckonable service.
(3) Subject to paragraph (2) the pension payable to a widower shall be calculated by multiplying 1/160th of the teacher’s pensionable salary by the number of years of her reckonable service after 5th April 1988 together with any period for which family benefit contributions have been paid in accordance with an election made under Parts I or II of Schedule 4, any period of reckonable service credited by virtue of the receipt of, after 5th April 1988, a transfer value under regulation 73 and any past added years the teacher elected to purchase after 5th April 1988 under Part III.
64B Where a married woman teacher has before 6th April 1988 nominated under previous provisions a person, other than a spouse, to receive a pension under this Part, and she is entitled to a guaranteed minimum pension in relation to benefits under these Regulations, the long term pension payable to her widower following her death, if the nomination has not been revoked, shall be the aggregate of the following amounts:—
(a) a pension equal to one half of that part of the teacher’s guaranteed minimum which is attributable to earnings for the tax year 1988/89 and subsequent tax years; and
(b) a pension calculated in the manner prescribed in regulation 64A(3) for any period for which family benefit contributions have been paid in accordance with an election made under Parts I or II of Schedule 4.”.
