Plain English Summary

6/10 complexity

This Act raises pension amounts for people already receiving Defence Forces Retirement Benefits by changing rate tables and unit entitlements and by adding formulas in the Schedules; it also provides proportional increases for certain widows and for additional service years. The increases are paid by the Commonwealth and take effect from the first fortnightly pension payment after commencement.

The Act does not create new pension eligibility: it applies to "prescribed pensioners" (existing recipients) and excludes child pensions and cases where the person also receives pension under the Superannuation Act (ss3,4–6,10–12,13).

What it does

This Act increases certain retirement and survivor pensions payable under the Defence Forces Retirement Benefits Act 1948‑1958 by changing the way pension rates, unit entitlements and related deductions are to be calculated for a defined class of existing pensioners. The change is implemented by deeming alterations to the operation of specific subsections of the Defence Forces Retirement Benefits Act (the DFRB Act) for the purposes of calculating pensions for those "prescribed pensioners" (see s 3 and ss 4-5). The mechanical effects are:

For non‑unit pensions (those not payable in respect of units), the DFRB Act is to be treated as if certain subsections provided that officers’ and members’ pensions were at the rates set out in column 4 of Part I and Part II of the First Schedule (s 4(2)(a), (c)). Deductions for commuted pensions are to be taken in accordance with the Second Schedule (s 4(2)(b), (d)). Additional pension for service in excess of twenty years is as set out in the Third Schedule (s 4(2)(c)(ii)). The Eighth Schedule reference amounts are altered (s 4(2)(e)). If the deemed rates would produce a higher pension than the rate otherwise payable, the pensioner is entitled to that higher rate (s 4(3)).
For pensions payable in respect of units, the Act defines an "adjusted unit entitlement" drawn from column 5 of the First Schedule and compares it to the pensioner’s "actual unit entitlement" and "actual unit contribution" (s 5(2)). If the adjusted unit entitlement exceeds the actual unit entitlement, the pensioner receives an increase equal to the prescribed rate for each additional unit (s 5(3)). The prescribed rate is £32 10s. p.a. for certain categories and £16 5s. p.a. for others, with a pro‑rata adjustment where actual unit contribution is less than actual unit entitlement (s 5(2), definition of "prescribed rate").

(d) subsection (2A) of section forty‑eight of that Act provided that the deduction under subsection (2) of that section were a deduction in accordance with the Second Schedule to this Act; and

(e) the reference in the Eighth Schedule to that Act to the amounts of £182 and £91 were references to the amounts of £208 and £104 respectively.

(3) Where the pension payable to a pensioner to whom this section applies would, if the pension were payable to him in accordance with the Defence Forces Retirement Benefits Act 1948‑1958 as that Act is deemed to have effect for the purposes of this section, be payable at a rate higher than the rate at which, but for this section, the pension would be payable, he is entitled to an increase in the rate of the pension to that higher rate. (4) In the application of this section to a prescribed pensioner to whom additional pension is payable under section forty‑six of the Defence Forces Retirement Benefits Act 1948‑1958, there shall be taken into account for the purpose of ascertaining the pension that would have been payable to the pensioner if he had continued to serve until he attained the age of sixty years the amount, if any, by which that pension would have been increased by virtue of the next succeeding section.

(3) Where the adjusted unit entitlement of a pensioner to whom this section applies exceeds his actual unit entitlement, the pensioner is, subject to this Act, entitled to an increase in the pension that is payable to him, being an increase calculated at the prescribed rate in respect of each unit included in his additional unit entitlement.

(b) a pension was payable to a person under subsection (1) of section fifty‑seven of the Defence Forces Retirement Benefits Act 1948, or of that Act as amended, by virtue of that person being the widow of a pensioner who, if he had not died and had been in receipt of his pension immediately before the commencing date, would have been entitled to an increase in that pension under this Act; or
