The British Transport (Compensation to Employees) Regulations 1970

Compensation payable to non-pensionable officer on reaching normal retiring age

17.—(1) Where a person to whom this Part of these regulations applies and who is not a pensionable officer is receiving long-term compensation for loss or diminution of emoluments or worsening of his position and attains normal retiring age, the compensating authority may, if satisfied that the person would have continued to work as an officer for a substantial period beyond normal retiring age, continue to pay compensation to him for the remainder of his life at half its former rate.

(2) Where a person to whom this Part of these regulations applies and who is not a pensionable officer suffers loss or diminution of emoluments, or worsening of his position, on or after attaining normal retiring age, the compensating authority may, if satisfied that the person had he not so suffered would have continued in the normal course of events to work for a substantial period as an officer, pay compensation to him for the remainder of his life at a rate not exceeding one half of that to which he would have been entitled under regulation 15 had he not attained normal retiring age at the date on which he suffered the loss, diminution or worsening, as the case may be.
