The Police Pensions (War Service) (Transferees) Regulations 1985

10.—(1) Where the conditions specified in paragraph (2) are satisfied, the appropriate police authority shall pay an additional transfer value in respect of a policeman to whom this Part applies to the person responsible for the management of the 1978 scheme (“the 1978 pension authority”) and any such transfer value shall be calculated in accordance with Regulation 11.

(2) The conditions referred to in paragraph (1) are that the 1978 pension authority applies for the transfer value and furnishes the relevant police authority with a statement—

(a) certifying that, subject to the payment of the transfer value, the policeman will be entitled to reckon service for the purposes of the 1978 scheme by reason of his war service;

(b) certifying—

(i) if the policeman was on 1st April 1978 a serving member of the 1978 scheme, the pensionable emoluments by reference to which a transfer value in respect of him which fell to be paid on that date would have been calculated under that scheme, or

(ii) if he was on 1st April 1978 or, where he died before that date, immediately before his death, entitled to a pension under the 1978 scheme, the pensionable emoluments by reference to which the pension was calculated (or, if the pension was not in payment, would have been calculated had it been put into payment on that date) increased by the pensions increase factor that was appropriate to that pension on that date (or that would have been appropriate if the pension had been in payment on that date); and

(c) certifying that he was alive on 1st April 1975;

and the police authority shall be entitled to rely upon any such statement so furnished.

(3) In paragraph (2)(b)(ii) “the pensions increase factor” means the rate by which a pension was increased (or would have been increased if the pension had been in payment and had qualified to be so increased) by virtue of orders made under section 2 of the Pensions (Increase) Act 1971 or section 59 of the Social Security Pensions Act 1975.
