(2) Where this paragraph applies—

(a)any benefits payable in respect of the person (except any surviving spouse’s or children’s short-term pension) are to be calculated, and

(b)any surrender of part of a retirement pension has effect,

20.  Where—

(a)a person was entitled to a superannuation allowance under Part I of the Act of 1937 or an annual pension under the former regulations or a pension under a local Act scheme, or a retirement pension under the 1974 regulations, the 1986 regulations or these regulations,
