The Teachers’ Pensions Regulations 2010

Additional pension paid with retirement pension

75.—(1) This regulation applies to the AP beneficiary of one or more AP elections to whom a retirement pension becomes payable.

(2) An additional pension is payable to a person to whom this regulation applies (P) in respect of each AP election of which P is an AP beneficiary from the entitlement day.

(3) The entitlement day is the day on which the retirement pension becomes payable.

(4) If P is a person with mixed service and Case A applies to P’s NPA 60 reckonable service and another Case applies to P’s NPA 65 reckonable service—

(a)the entitlement day for an additional pension in respect of an AP election accepted before P became a person with mixed service is the entitlement day for Case A, and

(b)the entitlement day for an additional pension in respect of an AP election accepted after P became a person with mixed service is the entitlement day for the Case which applies to P’s NPA 65 reckonable service.

(5) Except as otherwise provided in these Regulations, the additional pension is payable for life.

(6) Paragraph (2) does not apply to an AP election if an additional pension attributable to the AP election is payable to P under regulation 73 (election to receive additional pension with phased retirement pension).

(7) Where—

(a)P is a person with mixed service,

(b)the retirement pension is payable because Case A applies to P’s NPA 60 reckonable service, and

(c)no other Case applies to P’s NPA 65 reckonable service,

paragraph (2) does not apply to an AP election accepted after P became a person with mixed service.

(8) Where—

(a)P is a person with mixed service, and

(b)the retirement pension is payable because a Case applies to P’s NPA 65 reckonable service,

(c)a retirement pension is payable to P because Case A applies to P’s NPA 60 reckonable service (including a case where the rate of the pension has been reduced to zero under regulation 64 (abatement of retirement pension during further employment) or 121 (forfeiture of benefits)),

paragraph (2) does not apply to an AP election accepted before P became a person with mixed service.

(9) The annual rate of the pension is the amount with which P is credited under Schedule 4 in respect of the AP election multiplied by the factor mentioned in paragraph (10) if that factor is greater than 1 and by the factor mentioned in paragraph (11).

(10) The factor is RPI1/RPI2, where—

• RPI1 is the retail prices index for the penultimate month before the month which includes the day before the day on which the pension is deemed to begin for the purposes of PIA 1971 (see section 8(2) of that Act), and

• RPI2 is the retail prices index for the month which includes the start date.

(11) The factor is—

(a)where P is a pre-2007 entrant and the retirement pension is payable because Case D or E applies to P’s NPA 60 reckonable service, the appropriate factor for a person with NPA 60 reckonable service;

(b)where P is a pre-2007 entrant who has not reached the age of 65 by the entitlement day and the AP election was accepted after P reached the age of 60, the appropriate factor for a person with NPA 65 reckonable service;

(c)where P is a person with mixed service, the retirement pension is payable because Case D or E applies to P’s NPA 60 reckonable service and the AP election was accepted before P became a person with mixed service, the appropriate factor for a person with NPA 60 reckonable service;

(d)where P is a person with mixed service, the retirement pension is payable because Case D or E applies to P’s NPA 65 reckonable service and the AP election was accepted after P became a person with mixed service, the appropriate factor for a person with NPA 65 reckonable service;

(e)where P is a 2007 or later entrant, and the retirement pension is payable because Case D or E applies to P’s NPA 65 reckonable service, the appropriate factor for a person with NPA 65 reckonable service;

(f)in all other cases, 1.
