Normal pension ageN.I.
34.—(1) In this Schedule “normal pension age”, in relation to the scheme and any pension or lump sum under it, means the age specified in the admissible rules as the earliest age at which the pension or lump sum becomes payable without actuarial adjustment (disregarding any admissible rule making special provision as to early payment on the grounds of ill health).
(2) Where different ages are specified in relation to different parts of a pension or lump sum—
(a)this Schedule has effect as if those parts were separate pensions or, as the case may be, lump sums, and
(b)references in relation to a part of the pension or lump sum to the normal pension age are to be read as references to the age specified in the
admissible rules as the earliest age at which that part becomes payable under the scheme without actuarial adjustment (disregarding any special provision as to early payment on grounds of ill health or otherwise).
(3) In any case where the Board is satisfied that it is not possible to identify the normal pension age from the admissible rules of the scheme, it may, having regard to those rules, determine how the normal pension age is to be determined.
