PAYMENT OF DEPENDENT’S PENSION BENEFIT

Report by Head of Finance & Procurement

Introduction

  1. This Committee determined, at the November 2005 meeting, to delegate the decision, to the Head of Finance & Procurement, of whether a child’s pension could continue when a gap year had been taken.

  2. This report informs Committee that a decision has been made under these delegated powers.

    3. Current Payment

  3. An ex teacher in receipt of a compensatory added years payment died in November 2002 leaving a widow and son. The son was paid a dependent’s pension in accordance with the Regulations until the completion of his A levels in 2004. He then took a gap year before starting university in 2005. This gap year included conservation work, which directly linked to his degree course.

  4. The Head of Finance & Procurement considered and agreed to the request to continue payment of the child’s pension for the period of the degree course, which is due to finish in June 2008.

    5. RECOMMENDATION
