6 Allowances for pensioners
1 Where a person ceases to be employed in a relevant employment, if—
(a) immediately before so ceasing he or she was entitled to an allowance under regulation 3;
(b) on so ceasing regulation 4 does not apply, but he or she becomes entitled under the Benefits Regulations and the Administration Regulations to receive payments in respect of an annual retirement pension; and
(c) the annual rate of the retirement pension in any year falls short of what it would have been if the amount of the allowance paid under regulation 3 during the period which is the final pay period under regulation 8 (final pay: general) of the Benefits Regulations, had been part of his or her remuneration in the relevant employment,
Regulation 8 was amended by S.I. 2007/1488 and S.I. 2008/1083.
the relevant employer may, subject to regulation 8, pay the person an allowance (but not of an amount in any year exceeding that shortfall).
2 An allowance under this regulation continues for such period as the relevant employer may determine.
