Under the terms and conditions of the Early Retirement Scheme introduced in 2000, in the case of applications made in the year ended 31 December 2001, payments are made for a maximum period of 10 years but in any event not beyond a participant's 69th birthday. The person named entered the Scheme on 5 December 2001 and reached the age of 69 on 20 November 2007. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Scheme, her pension payments therefore ceased on 19 November 2007.
