For the purposes of sections 17 and 19, the amount of pension or pension credit that would be obtained on the basis of the sums awarded to the spouse at the date of assessment shall be established at that date according to the actuarial method and assumptions provided for in section 8.

If the pensioner retired before the date of payment and if that date occurs after the date of the pensioner’s 65th birthday, the amount of pension obtained pursuant to the first paragraph shall be increased by 0.50% per month, calculated for each month between the date of the pensioner’ 65th birthday and the date on which that amount of pension begins to apply, if the pensioner retired before the date of his or her 65th birthday, or for each month between the date on which the pensioner retired and the date on which that amount of pension begins to apply, if the pensioner retired on the date of his or her 65th birthday or thereafter.
