(b)in a case where the deceased civil partner attained pensionable age on or after 6 April 2010, the condition in paragraph 5A of Schedule 3.
(6)The weekly rate of a person's Category B retirement pension under this section is to be determined in accordance with sections 44 to 45AA and [F2Schedules 4A and 4B] as they apply in the case of a Category A retirement pension taking references in those sections to the pensioner as references to the spouse or deceased civil partner.
(7)But in the case of—
(a)a man whose wife dies after 5 October 2002, or
(b)a surviving civil partner,
any amount of additional pension falling to be calculated under subsection (6) is to be halved.
(8)For the purposes of any provision of this Act as it applies in relation to this section, no account is to be taken of any earnings factors of the spouse or deceased civil partner for the tax year beginning with 6 April 2016 or any later tax year.
(9)Subject to the provisions of this Act, a person becomes entitled to a Category B retirement pension under this section on the day on which the conditions of entitlement become satisfied and the entitlement continues throughout the person's life.
[F3(10)Subsection (11) applies in the case of a pensioner whose spouse or civil partner—
(a)attained pensionable age on or after 6 April 2016, and
(b)died after attaining pensionable age.
(11)Where this subsection applies, the amount determined in accordance with this section as the weekly rate of the additional pension payable to the pensioner shall be increased by such percentage as equals the overall percentage by which, had the pension been in payment as from the date when the spouse or civil partner reached pensionable age until the spouse’s or civil partner’s death, that weekly rate would have increased during that period by virtue of orders under section 132 of the Administration Act (annual up-rating of benefits).]]
