Section 629 | Pre-1973 pensions paid under the Overseas Pensions Act 1973

(1)This section applies to a pension if—

(a)it is paid under section 1 of OPA 1973 (whether or not paid out of a fund established under a scheme made under that section),

(b)it is a pre-1973 pension, and

(c)it is paid to—

(i)the original pensioner, or

(ii)the widow or widower of the original pensioner.

(2)But this section does not apply to a part of a pension which is paid because the Pensions (Increase) Act 1971 (c. 56) applies to it (and accordingly section 569 applies to that part of the pension).

(3)Chapter 18 of this Part provides an exemption where a pension to which this section applies is paid to a person who is not resident in the United Kingdom (see sections 647 and 651).
