Schedule 6

Rule 65.3 of Trust Deed & Rules of Pitney Xxxxx Pension Fund


65	Incapacity Pension and Redundancy

65.1	If an Active Member who has completed at least five years’ Pensionable Service leaves Service before Normal Retirement Date on account of either:

	(a)	Incapacity; or

	(b)	in the opinion of the Principal Employer, redundancy where he is aged at or over his Normal Minimum Pension Age;

	he may elect, subject to rule 65.6, to receive the aggregate of:

	(i)	an immediate annual pension equal to his Scale Pension calculated using:

		(A)	his Final Pensionable Salary at the date of he leaves Pensionable Service; and

		(B)	his Pensionable Service up to the date he left Pensionable Service; and

		(C)	adjusted to take account of its early payment in accordance with the terms of this Rule 65; and

	(ii)	in respect of a Member entitled to a Top-Up Account, a benefit derived from the application of the Member’s Top-Up Account under Rule 59.

65.2	Subject to Rule 65.5, where Rule 65.1(a) applies:

	(a)	the Scale Pension will be calculated on the basis of the Pensionable Service which the Member would have completed had he remained in Pensionable Service to Normal Retirement Date (“the notional period”); and

	(b)	no actuarial reduction will be applied to a Scale Pension.

65.3	Subject to Rule 65.5, where Rule 65.1(b) applies the Scale Pension will be calculated on the basis that the Trustees will:

	(a)	not actuarially reduce that part of the Scale Pension payable under Rule 65.1(b) which is attributable to Pensionable Service completed before 1 July 1998; and

	(b)	actuarially reduce that part of the Scale Pension payable under Rule 65.1(b) which is attributable to Pensionable Service completed after 30 June 1998 to take account of the period (if any) that it is paid early between the date the Member’s pension starts to be paid and the date of his 65th birthday.

65.4	The amount of the actuarial reduction applied under Rule 65.3(b) will be determined by the Trustees on a basis advised by the Actuary.

65.5	The Trustees must be reasonably satisfied that value of the immediate pension payable under this Rule 65 (ignoring any part of the pension derived from the application of the Member’s Top-Up Account) is at least equal to the value of any benefits which have accrued to and in respect of the Member under the Defined Benefit Section of the Fund on the date it starts to be paid:

	(a)	ignoring the Member’s Top-Up Account (if any); and

	(b)	taking into account the Preservation Requirements.

65.6	Where a Member of the Defined Benefit Section has requested the early payment of his benefits due to Incapacity, the Trustees must be satisfied that the Member meets the ill-health condition as required by paragraph 1 of schedule 28 of the Finance Xxx 0000.

140


65.7	Rules 71 to 75 [exchange of pension for cash] and 76 [exchange of pension for a dependant’s pension] apply.

65.8	The payment of the Scale Pension is subject to compliance with the Contracting-out Requirements set out in Schedule 2.

65.9	The pension will commence in payment on the day after the date of the Member ceasing to be in Service.

65.10	In the case of the payment of a pension before Normal Retirement Date under this Rule due to Incapacity, the Trustees may review the payment as such a pension under the terms of Rule 66.

66	Review of Incapacity Pensions

66.1	A pension which is paid under either Rule 65.1(a) or Rule 70.2(b) due to the Incapacity of the Active Member or Early Leaver (as applicable) may be reviewed by the Trustees every three (3) years after the date his pension starts to be paid or such other period as the Trustees determine. No reviews will be made once the Member attains his Normal Retirement Date.

66.2	At each review of the payment of pension due to Incapacity, the Trustees may ask the Pensioner to:

	(a)	attend a medical with the registered medical practitioner of the Trustees selection; and / or

	(b)	provide any information and other co-operation to allow the Trustees to complete their review.

66.3	If the Trustees are satisfied that the Pensioner:

	(a)	is no longer suffering from Incapacity to the same degree as gave rise to the entitlement to pension under Rule 65.1(a) or 70.2(b); or

	(b)	has failed to co-operate with the review to such a degree that the Trustees are not able to determine if the Pensioner continues to suffer from Incapacity

	the Trustees may either:
