Police Service of Northern Ireland and Police Service of Northern Ireland Reserve (Injury Benefit) (Amendment) Regulations 2012
These Regulations insert a new definition of “adult survivor” into the Police Service of Northern Ireland and Police Service of Northern Ireland Reserve (Injury Benefit) Regulations 2006 (“the 2006 Regulations”). An “adult survivor” is a person who at the time of the death of the police officer concerned was his or her spouse, civil partner or, subject to regulation 12(1B), other adult partner. They also insert the words “the metropolitan police force” into regulations 13(2)(b) (adult survivor’s augmented award) and 17(4) (child’s special gratuity) as those words had been erroneously omitted from the 2006 Regulations.
