111.—(1) A member (P) is not entitled to payment of an ill-health pension—

(a)in respect of any pensionable service after P reaches normal pension age; or

(b)if paragraph (2) applies.

(2) This paragraph applies if—

(3) But paragraph (2) does not apply if the Secretary of State determines that the only reason for the direction or the direction being considered, for including, or considering including, P in any of the lists; or for making, or considering making, a prohibition order is unrelated to P's culpable behaviour.

SVGA 2006” means the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 M3.
