4—Notional pension when determining spouse pension

Where—

            (a)         before the transfer of an electricity industry pensioner to the State Scheme the pensioner had commuted part of his or her pension on the basis that the commutation would not be taken into account when determining the amount of the pension payable to the pensioner's spouse; and

            (b)         the pensioner dies and is survived by a spouse who is entitled to a spouse pension under the Act,

the notional pension for the purpose of determining the spouse's pension will be the pension that the electricity industry pensioner would have been receiving immediately before his or her death if the commutation referred to in paragraph (a) had not occurred.
