2.— (1) This paragraph applies where all the service by virtue of which the policeman’s pensionable service is reckonable was full-time.

(2) Subject to paragraph 5, the amount of the annual pension shall be half of the policeman’s average pensionable pay with the addition of an amount equal to two sixtieths of that pay, multiplied by the period in years by which his or her pensionable service exceeds 25 years.

3.— (1) This paragraph applies where–

(a) some or all of the service by virtue of which the policeman’s pensionable service is reckonable was part time; and

(b) if the part time service had been full-time service, his or her pensionable service would not exceed 30 years.

(2) Subject to paragraph 5, the amount of the annual pension is given by the formula–

where–

N is the amount that the pension would be if all the pensionable service were full-time service;

R is the period in years of his or her pensionable service; and

Q is the period that would be the period in years of his or her pensionable service if periods of part time service were reckonable as if they were periods of full-time service.

4.— (1) This paragraph applies where–

(a) some or all of the service by virtue of which the policeman’s pensionable service is reckonable was part time; and

5.   The amount of the annual pension may not exceed two thirds of the policeman’s average pensionable pay.

6.   If the amount of the pension a person would be entitled to in accordance with paragraphs 1 to 4 would be less than the amount would have been if the person had become entitled to receive an ordinary pension by retiring after due notice from the same police force at an earlier date, then, subject to paragraph 5 and to Parts VII and VIII of this Schedule, the pension is to be a pension of the last mentioned amount instead.

7.   For the purposes of paragraph 6, any difference in those amounts attributable to a pension debit is disregarded.
