22.—(1) This paragraph applies in relation to a transition member with continuity of service who—
(a)is a connected member of the NFPS or a connected special member of the NFPS;
(b)becomes entitled to an ill-health award under this scheme in relation to relevant scheme employment; and
(c)who has not reached normal pension age under the NFPS.
(2) If this paragraph applies—
(a)neither a lower tier ill-health pension nor a higher tier ill-health pension are payable under article 12 (award on ill-health retirement) of the NFPS; and
(b)an ill-health award is payable under this scheme in accordance with this paragraph.
(3) If the member meets the conditions only for a lower tier ill-health pension under this scheme the annual rate of a lower tier ill-health pension payable under this scheme is the sum of—
(a)the annual rate of a lower tier ill-health pension payable under this scheme; and
(b)an amount payable under regulation 73(4) (entitlement to lower tier ill-health pension and to higher tier ill-health pension).
(4) Where the member meets the conditions for a higher tier ill-health pension under this scheme, the adjusted lower tier ill-health pension in regulation 74(4) (annual rate of ill-health awards) includes the amount in sub-paragraph (3)(b) for the purposes of the calculation of the annual rate of the higher tier ill-health pension.
(5) If, after an ill-health award becomes payable under this scheme, a transfer value payment is made under Chapter 2 (transfers out of the Scheme) of Part 12 (transfers into and out of the Scheme) of the NFPS in respect of the member’s rights under that Scheme and the transfer relates to a period of service included as qualifying service in relation to the member’s retirement account, the scheme manager must deduct from the ill-health award the amount in respect of service in the NFPS which is equal to the value represented by that transfer value payment.
(6) In this paragraph—
“relevant scheme employment” means the continuous period of pensionable service in scheme employment in relation to the active member’s account to which the qualifying service for that connected member of the NFPS, or connected special member of the NFPS, was added for the purposes of regulation 66 (qualifying service).]
