Commutation into lump sum

3
Before making any calculations pursuant to paragraph (2) the Managers shall consult the Government Actuary unless such calculations are made on the basis of tables prepared by the Government Actuary for the purpose of making such calculations.
4
If the amount of a lump sum calculated pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) would exceed the maximum commutable sum —

Subject to paragraph (6), for the purposes of paragraph (4) the maximum commutable sum shall be an amount calculated in accordance with Schedule 3 to this Order and, in the case of a person who became a participant on or after 1st June 1989, shall be subject to an overall maximum of 120/80 of the permitted maximum.
6
In determining the amount of the lump sum under this article the maximum commutable sum shall if necessary be diminished so that the annual amount of pension shall not be reduced under paragraph (2) below the rate of the guaranteed minimum pension.

2
If on an application under paragraph (1) the Managers direct that they are satisfied —
a
that the applicant does not intend to seek re-election to the European Parliament;
b
that his ill-health would prevent him from adequately performing the duties of a Representative; and

A participant who if he were to cease as mentioned in paragraph (1) at a particular date in the future because of ill-health, would become entitled to make an application under that paragraph may make such an application to the Managers before that date specifying in the application the date when he proposes so to cease, and if the Managers are satisfied that at the date so specified that applicant will, if he so ceases, be entitled to an early pension by virtue of paragraph (2) they shall make a direction to that effect.
4
The annual amount of a pension payable under article 7 to a person by virtue of this article shall, subject to article 8, be calculated in accordance with article 7(2), (3) and (4) but for the purposes of the calculation his aggregate period of reckonable service shall, subject to paragraph (5), be increased by a period equal to the period between his ceasing as mentioned in paragraph (1) above and the time when he would attain the age of sixty-five years.
5
In the case of a person to whom article 7(5)(a) applies, the increase referred to in paragraph (4) shall be divided by three in respect of that part of the aggregate period of reckonable service (not including any increase under this article) to which section 1(2)(b) of the 1979 Act applied, and in the case of a person to whom article 7(5)(b) applies the increase referred to in paragraph (4) shall be multiplied by three in respect of that part of the aggregate period of reckonable service (not including any increase under this article) to which the said section did not apply, and for the purpose of making the calculation referred to in article 7(2), article 7(5) shall not apply in respect of that part of the aggregate period of reckonable service which is attributable to the increase provided by paragraph (4) and this paragraph.
6
For the purpose of this article, a participant who has ceased to be a Representative at the end of the life of a European Parliament shall be treated as having so ceased because of ill-health if the Managers direct that they are satisfied that as a direct consequence of his ill-health he did not seek re-election to the European Parliament.
7
A person who because of ill-health has, while neither a Representative nor a candidate for election to the European Parliament, retired from gainful work before attaining the age of sixty-five years may apply to the Managers for an early pension under article 7 if at the time when he so retired he would have become entitled to receive a pension under that article but for his not having attained that age.
8
If, on an application under paragraph (7) the Managers direct that they are satisfied —
a
that the applicant does not intend to seek re-election to the European Parliament;
b
that his ill-health would prevent him from adequately performing the duties of a Representative; and
c
that his retirement from gainful work was a direct consequence of his ill-health;
the applicant shall be entitled to receive a pension under article 7 as from the date of the direction.
9
Where an application is made under paragraph (7) the Managers shall make a direction as to whether they are satisfied as mentioned in paragraph (8) and, if they are so satisfied, shall state in the direction the date from which the pension will be payable, and they shall send a copy of the direction to the applicant.
10
In this paragraph “gainful work” means work under a contract of employment, or as the holder of an office, or as a self-employed person engaged in a business or profession being in any case work from which the person concerned gains the whole or a substantial part of his income.
11
Every application under this article must be accompanied by medical evidence of the applicant’s state of health.
12

If, for any part of the three month period, the aggregate of the following amounts, namely —
a
the amount payable to her by way of pension under article 12 apart from this paragraph; and
b
any amount which is payable to her by way of pension under article 14 for the benefit of any relevant child or children of the deceased,
is less than the amount mentioned in paragraph (3) of this article, then for that part of that period the amount payable to her by way of pension under article 12 shall be increased by the difference.
