How are Retiring Benefits Paid
Retiring benefits are generally paid to officers who retire having completed at least 5 years pensionable service. Generally the benefits payable are stored until the officer reaches the voluntary (optional) age of retirement should he/she resign before then. Persons with less than 10 years receive only a gratuity (lump sum payment). An appointed officer with 10 or more years’ service normally qualifies for a full pension (monthly payment) but may opt to receive a gratuity and a reduced pension.
Officers who entered the service on or before 1975-09-01, remain without a break and retire with a Government pension, currently retain that pension when the N.I. Pension becomes payable, i.e. those officers will receive both pensions. Officers who entered the service after 1975-09-01 and who retire with a government pension will have their pension abated by the amount of N.I. pension payable.
