Reduction of pension in case of defaultK3

Where a member of a police force or a person who has been a member of a police force becomes permanently disabled and has brought about or substantially contributed to the disablement by his own default, the police authority may reduce the amount of any ill-health or injury award payable to him by them by an amount not exceeding a half of that to which he would otherwise be entitled:

Provided that—

a

this Regulation shall not apply where the person concerned has been a regular policeman and is in receipt of an ill-health pension and would, if he had continued to serve instead of retiring with that pension, have been entitled to reckon 25 years' pensionable service; and

b

where the pension of a regular policeman has been reduced under this Regulation, then if when he attains the age of 60 years the reduced pension is less than the amount of the deferred pension which would have been payable had he been granted such a pension on the date of his ceasing to serve it shall be increased to that amount.
