Teachers' Superannuation Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1998

2.—(1) A retirement pension payable in the case of a retired teacher who—

(a) by virtue of the Modification Regulations or of interchange rules was subject to the modifications of the Acts of 1950 to 1967 made by those Regulations and applicable to new entrants within the meaning of those Regulations; or

(b) not being an existing teacher within the meaning of the Modification Regulations or a teacher in whose case by virtue of interchange rules those Regulations applied as they applied in the case of such an existing teacher, entered pensionable employment on or after the 1st April 1980,

shall be reduced by an amount calculated by multiplying £1·70 by his reckonable service on or after 1st July 1948 but before 1st April 1980; expressed in years and any fraction of a year.

(2) In the case of a retired teacher—

(a) who was last in pensionable employment before 1st April 1980; and

(b) whose retirement pension is one to which he became entitled by virtue of regulation E4(4) or (5),

any additional period of reckonable service taken into account under regulation E8(2) is deemed for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) to be such service as is there mentioned.

(3) Where the retired teacher before 1st April 1980 elected for the purposes of regulation 21 of the 1977 Regulations to purchase added years, those added years are deemed for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) to be such reckonable service as is there mentioned.

(4) Sub-paragraph (1) applies not only in the case of such a retired teacher as is there mentioned but also in the case of a retired teacher to whom paragraph 2(1) of Schedule 8 to the 1977 Regulations as originally made, did not apply if the Department is satisfied that the contributions paid by him before 1st April 1980 were modified on the assumption that the said paragraph 2(1) did apply in his case.
