Social Security Act (Cap. 318), article 89

89. No pension payable to a person under article 26 or Parts IV or V of this Act shall be reduced by reason of any increase taking effect after such person becomes entitled to a pension as aforesaid, in the amount payable to such person by way of Service Pension, or, in the case of a widow, by way of a pension from an employer of her late husband which is related to the employment of her late husband; sohowever that, where any such pension as is payable under this Act needs to be increased as a result of a revision in or a reassessment of the rates of such pension, any increases payable to such person by way of a Service Pension or, in the case of a widow, by way of a pension from an employer of her late husband which is related to the employment of her late husband, taking effect after such person or widow becomes entitled to a pension as aforesaid shall then be taken into account: Provided that any such increases shall not only not adversely affect the rate of pension as is already payable to him or her immediately before such revision or reassessment as aforesaid in this article, but such pensioner shall, furthermore, be entitled to an increase in his or her rate of pension under this Act equivalent to two-thirds of the wage increase that is required by law to be awarded generally if such revised or re-assessed pension as is payable under this Act would otherwise entitle such pensioner to a lower increase.
