55Increase of retirement pension where entitlement is deferred
(1)Where a person’s entitlement to a Category A or Category B retirement pension is deferred, Schedule 5 to this Act shall have effect for increasing the rate of his pension.
(2)For the purposes of this Act, a person’s entitlement to a Category A or Category B retirement pension is “deferred” if and so long as he does not become entitled to that pension by reason only—
(a)that he has not satisfied the conditions of section 1 of the Administration Act (entitlement to benefit dependent on claim); or
(b)that, in the case of a woman’s Category B retirement pension by virtue of her husband’s contributions, her husband has not satisfied those conditions with respect to his Category A retirement pension;
and, in relation to any such pension, “period of deferment” shall be construed accordingly.
