105.—(1) For the purposes of this Chapter, an employed pensioner's previous earnings is construed in accordance with this regulation.
(2) If the employed pensioner's old employment was neither as a practitioner nor as a non-GP provider, the previous earnings is the greater of—
(a)the optimum re-valued pensionable earnings in the old employment; and
(b)the annual rate of pay for the old employment at the time it ceased.
(3) If the employed pensioner's old employment was as a practitioner or non-GP provider the previous earnings is the average of the annual amounts of the person's re-valued pensionable earnings in respect of practitioner service.
(4) The optimum re-valued pensionable earnings is the re-valued pensionable earnings for the scheme year in the earnings reference period for which the employed pensioner has the greatest amount of re-valued pensionable earnings.
(5) The annual rate of pay is the sum of—
(a)the annual rate of so much of the employed pensioner's pensionable earnings immediately before the old service pension became payable as consisted of salary, wages, or other regular payments of a fixed nature; and
(b)so much of any fees and other regular payments not of a fixed nature as—
(i)was payable to the employed pensioner during the period of 12 months ending with the day the old employment ceased, and
(ii)formed part of the employed pensioner's pensionable earnings.
(6) The amount to be taken as the employed pensioner's previous earnings must be adjusted in each scheme year by increasing it by the same amount as that by which an annual pension equal to that amount would have been increased under the Pensions (Increase) Act 1971 at 6th April in that scheme year if—
(a)the pension was eligible to be so increased; and
(b)the beginning date for the pension were the same as the beginning date for the old service pension.
(7) In this regulation and regulation 106—
“re-valued pensionable earnings” means, in relation to each scheme year in the earnings reference period, the pensionable earnings for that year increased up to the beginning date for the old service pension by the rate of change in prices specified by the Treasury by order under section 9 of the 2013 Act; and
“the earnings reference period” is the period ending on the last day of the scheme year immediately preceding the scheme year in which the employed pensioner left the old employment and starting on the later of—
the first day of the scheme year in which the employed pensioner first joined this scheme; and
the first day of the tenth scheme year preceding the scheme year in which the employed pensioner left the old employment.
(8) In paragraph (6) the beginning date, in relation to a pension, is the date on which it is deemed to begin for the purposes of the Pensions (Increase) Act 1971 (see section 8(2) of that Act M1).
