Upon retirement or upon death, or upon being declared deceased, the person concerned, entitle the individual or their dependants to benefits of a purely financial nature, paid at regular intervals, in the form of retirement or early retirement pensions, widow’s pensions, orphans’ pensions and parents’ pensions.

Pensions shall be either ordinary or extraordinary, depending on whether the event giving rise to the pension occurs under ordinary circumstances or as a result of injury, death or disappearance occurring in the course of duty or as a consequence thereof.

Extraordinary pensions arising from acts of terrorism shall be granted to staff covered by the State Civil Service Pension Scheme or to pensioners under that scheme who are victims of such an act.

Exceptional pensions are civil service pensions recognised by law in favour of a specific person or persons.
