42. In this Part—
“the leaving year” means the financial year in which the relevant last day falls;
“the relevant last day” means—
for a member who has made a phased retirement application, the day before the entitlement day for a phased retirement pension; and
otherwise, the last day of pensionable service.
43. For the purpose of this Part, a person (P) who re-enters pensionable service after a gap in service not exceeding 5 years is taken to be in pensionable service during the gap.
44.—(1) The leaver index adjustment for an amount of accrued earned pension other than an amount of club transfer accrued earned pension is an amount calculated as follows—
Step 1
Add 1.6 to the percentage increase or decrease in prices specified in the Treasury order in relation to the leaving year.
Step 2
Multiply the result at Step 1 by A/B
where—
A is the number of complete months in the period between the beginning of the leaving year and the end of the relevant last day; and
B is 12.
The resulting percentage is the leaver index percentage.
Step 3
Multiply the amount of accrued earned pension by the leaver index percentage.
The resulting amount is the leaver index adjustment.
(2) The leaver index adjustment for an amount of club transfer accrued earned pension is the adjustment that would apply under the sending scheme to an amount of accrued earned pension equal to the amount of club transfer accrued earned pension specified in the active member's account at the end of the relevant last day.
(3) In this regulation, “complete month” includes an incomplete month that consists of at least 16 days.
45.—(1) The leaver PIA index adjustment for an amount of accrued additional pension is calculated in accordance with paragraph (2).
(2) The leaver PIA index adjustment is the amount by which the annual rate of a pension of an amount equal to the amount of accrued additional pension would have been increased in the leaving year under PIA 1971 if—
(a)that pension were eligible to be so increased; and
(b)the beginning date for that pension were the day after the relevant last day.
