(1)  reduced, in the case of a pension that becomes payable after 31 December 2013, by 0.5%, to which is added an adjustment factor multiplied by the ratio between 25% of the average base monthly pensionable earnings of the contributor, calculated as provided in sections 116.1 to 116.5, for the year in which the retirement pension becomes payable and the maximum base monthly retirement pension for the year, calculated as provided in section 116.6, for each month of the period that falls between the date, prior to the contributor’s sixty-fifth birthday, on which the pension becomes payable and the date of the contributor’s sixty-fifth birthday; or

(2)  increased by 0.7% in the case of a pension that becomes payable after 31 December 2013, for each month of the period that falls between the date of the contributor’s sixty-fifth birthday and the date, subsequent to the contributor’s sixty-fifth birthday, on which the pension becomes payable, up to a maximum of 84 months.

In the case of a retirement pension which becomes payable from 1 January 2024 to a contributor who is qualified for a disability pension, the adjustment of 0.5% provided for in subparagraph 1 of the first paragraph is replaced by an adjustment of 0.3% for each month of the period that falls between the date, prior to the contributor’s sixty-fifth birthday, on which the retirement pension becomes payable and the date of the contributor’s sixty-fifth birthday. In addition, the amount of the contributor’s retirement pension is, where applicable, reduced by 0.3%, to which is added an adjustment factor of 0.1% multiplied by the ratio between 25% of the average base monthly pensionable earnings of the contributor, calculated as provided in sections 116.1 to 116.5, for the year in which the retirement pension becomes payable and the maximum base monthly retirement pension for the year, calculated as provided in section 116.6, for each month for which the contributor was entitled, between 60 and 65 years of age, to a disability pension under this Act pursuant to the provisions of this Act in force on 31 December 2023 or under a similar plan.

However, in the case of a retirement pension which becomes payable after 31 December 2021 but before 1 January 2024, the monthly amount is reduced by 0.3%, to which is added an adjustment factor of 0.1% multiplied by the ratio between 25% of the average base monthly pensionable earnings of the contributor, calculated as provided in sections 116.1 to 116.5, for the year in which the retirement pension becomes payable and the maximum base monthly retirement pension for the year, calculated as provided in section 116.6, for each month for which the contributor was entitled, between 60 and 65 years of age, to a disability pension under this Act or a similar plan.

For the purposes of this section, the adjustment factor is 0.03% if the retirement pension becomes payable in 2014, 0.06% if it becomes payable in 2015 and 0.1% if it becomes payable in 2016 or in any subsequent year.
