59 Increase of official pensions. U.K.

(1) Where by virtue of [F78 section 151 of the Administration Act a direction is given that the sums mentioned in section 150(1)(c) of that Act] are to be increased by a specified percentage the Minister for the Civil Service shall by order provide that the annual rate of an official pension may, if a qualifying condition is satisfied or the pension is [F79 a derivative or substituted pension or a relevant injury pension], be increased in respect of any period beginning on or after the date on which the direction takes effect—

(a) if the pension began before the beginning of the base period for that direction, by the same percentage as that specified in the direction;

(b) if the pension began during the base period, by that percentage multiplied byA/B where A is the number of complete months in the period between the beginning of the pension and the end of the base period and B is the number of complete months in the base period.

(2) Where an order is made under this section in consequence of any such direction as aforesaid the order shall, in addition to the provision required by subsection (1) above, authorise the payment of an increase in respect of any lump sum that becomes payable during the base period for that direction, being an increase equal to the percentage specified in the direction multiplied by

where—

(a) A is the number of complete months in the period between the beginning date for the lump sum (or, if later, the date from which it was last authorised to be increased by an order under this section) and the date on which it becomes payable; and

(b) B is the number of complete months in that base period.

(3) In the case of the first order made under this section in consequence of any such direction as aforesaid, subsection (1) above shall have effect as if the increase required to be authorised in the case of any pension (whether beginning before or during the base period) were an increase equal to the percentage specified in the direction multiplied by

where—

(a) A is the number of complete months in the period between the beginning of the pension (or, if later, the date from which it was last authorised to be increased by an order under section 2 of the M1 Pensions (Increase) Act 1971) and the end of the base period for that direction; and

(b) B is the number of complete months in that base period.

(4) In the case of the first order so made under this section, subsection (2) above shall have effect as if—

(a) for the reference to any lump sum that becomes payable during the base period there were substituted a reference to any lump sum that becomes or has become payable before the end of the base period but after the date from which official pensions were last increased by an order under section 2 of the M2 Pensions (Increase) Act 1971; and

(b) the reference in paragraph (a) of the subsection to the date from which the lump sum was last authorised to be increased were a reference to the date specified in paragraph (a) above.

(5) The increases in the rate of a pension that may be provided for by an order under this section are to be calculated by reference to the basic rate of the pension as authorised to be increased by section 1 of the said Act of 1971 or by any order under section 2 of that Act or this section; but where—

[F80 (a) a person is entitled to a guaranteed minimum pension when an order under this section comes into force; and

(b) entitlement to that guaranteed minimum pension arises from an employment from which (either directly or by virtue of the payment of a transfer credit F81 ...) entitlement to the official pension also arises;

the amount by reference] to which any increase authorised by that or any subsequent order is to be calculated shall be reduced by an amount equal to the rate of the guaranteed minimum pension.

[F82 (5ZA) In the application of subsection (5) above in relation to a F83 [F84 surviving spouse’s] [F85 or surviving civil partner's] pension in a case where the pensioner becomes entitled on the death of the deceased spouse [F86 or civil partner] to such a guaranteed minimum pension as is there mentioned.

(a) the pensioner shall be treated as having been entitled to that guaranteed minimum pension at all times during the period beginning with the date on which the deceased spouse [F87 or civil partner] became entitled to a guaranteed minimum pension and ending with the date of the death;

(b) the rate of the guaranteed minimum pension to which the pensioner is treated as so entitled at any time during that period[F88 (“the relevant time”)] shall be taken to be [F89 the rate provided for in subsection (5ZB);] and

(c) the amount by reference to which any increase in the F90 [F91 surviving spouse’s] [F92 or surviving civil partner's] pension is to be calculated shall, subject to any directions under section 59A below (whether made before or after the coming into force of this subsection), be accordingly reduced under that subsection by an amount equal to the rate, as determined under paragraph (b) above, of the guaranteed minimum pension to which the pensioner is treated as entitled;

F93 ...]

[F94 (5ZB) The rate referred to in subsection (5ZA)(b) is—

F95 [F96 (a) in the case of a pension payable to a woman in respect of the services—

(i) of her deceased male spouse; or

(ii) of her deceased female spouse in a relevant gender change case;

one half of the rate of the deceased spouse’s guaranteed minimum pension at the relevant time;]

(b) in the case of F97 [F98 any other surviving spouse’s] pension, one half of so much of the rate of the deceased F99 [F100 spouse’s] guaranteed minimum pension at the relevant time as is attributable to earnings factors for the tax year 1988-89 and subsequent tax years;

(c) in the case of a surviving civil partner's pension, one half of so much of the rate of the deceased civil partner's guaranteed minimum pension at the relevant time as is attributable to earnings factors for the tax year 1988-89 and subsequent tax years.

(b) applies to a F103 [F104 pension due to a surviving spouse who was married to someone of the same sex [F105 (other than a pension within paragraph (a)(iii) or (iv))] [F105 (other than such a pension in respect of the services of the deceased spouse in a relevant gender change case)] and a] surviving civil partner's pension only in respect of amounts payable after the coming into force of this subsection.]

[F106 (5A) Nothing in [F107 section 110(2) or (3) of, or paragraph 10 of Schedule 6 to, the Pension Schemes Act 1993] authorises any deduction from an increase in the rate of an official pension under this section.]

• F113 F114 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

and this section [F115 and section 59A of this Act] and the said Act of 1971 shall have effect as if this section [F115 and section 59A of this Act] were contained in Part I of that Act.

[F117 59A Modification of effect of section 59(5). U.K.

(1) This section applies where the amount by reference to which an increase in an official pension is to be calculated would, but for the provisions of this section, be reduced under section 59(5) of this Act by an amount equal to the rate of a guaranteed minimum pension.

(2) The Minister for the Civil Service may direct that in such cases or classes of case as may be specified in the direction—

(a) no such reduction shall be made; or

(b) the reduction shall be of an amount less than the rate of the guaranteed minimum pension;

and in any case to which such a direction applies the increase shall, in respect of such period or periods as may be specified in the direction, be calculated in accordance with the direction, notwithstanding section 59(5).

[F118 (2A) Where in any tax year [F119 as defined in section 181(1) of the Pension Schemes Act 1993]—

(a) an increase is calculated in accordance with a direction under this section; and

(b) the amount by reference to which the increase is calculated, or any part of it, is increased in that tax year under [F120 section 109 of the Pension Schemes Act 1993],

the increase calculated in accordance with the direction shall be reduced by the amount of the increase under [F121 that section].]

(3) A direction under this section may provide that where it has applied in any case and ceases to apply in that case, the rate of the official pension for any period following the date on which the direction ceases to apply shall, in such circumstances as may be specified in the direction, be calculated as if the direction had never applied.

(4) A direction under this section may provide that the rate of an official pension shall, in such circumstances as may be specified in the direction, be calculated as if the direction had been in force at all times during such period as may be so specified.

(5) A direction made under subsection (2) above may be varied or revoked by a subsequent direction.]
