45. Late-Age Entrants. Those who entered Old Age Pensions insurance under the present Scheme before 30th September 1946 must wait five years from their entry before becoming qualified for pension. Those who entered that Scheme on or after 30th September 1946 and those who first become insured when the new Scheme begins on 3th July 1948 must wait ten years from their entry. If at the age of 65 (60 for women) the qualifying period is not complete, you can choose between : (a) paying Class 3 contributions until you complete the qualifying period ; (b) claiming a refund (with interest) upon that part of your contributions which was paid for Retirement Pension, in which case you will lose all right to that pension. If later you are in Class 1 employment in any week, you will pay only the Industrial Injury contribution (4d. for men, 3d. for women), and if you did not claim a refund of contributions at 65 (60 for women) the contribution which your employer also has to pay for that week will count as your Class 3 contribution to qualify you for pension. 46. Non-Contributory Pensions. The special Scheme for Non-Contributory Pensions for Blind Persons over age 40 and Old Age Pensions for those men and women over 70 who have no Retirement Pensions will continue to be dealt with by the Area Officer of the Assistance Board. DEATH GRANT 47. This is an entirely new benefit, which will be paid only on contributions under the new National Insurance Scheme. On and after 5th July 1949, on the death of an insured person, or on the death of the wife, widow, husband, or child of an insured person, a Death Grant will be paid towards the cost of funeral expenses. 26
