or exceptional;
CSC may, in relation to that case, having regard to the circumstances of the case, the principles in these Rules and the need to maintain equity between members, determine the point at issue in favour of that person.
Instalments of pensions
67. (1) Pensions are to be paid in fortnightly instalments on pension pay‑days.
(2) The amount of a fortnightly instalment of pension is an amount ascertained by dividing the amount per annum of the pension by 26.
(3) Where the amount of a fortnightly instalment of pension includes a fraction of a cent:
     (a) if the fraction is less than one‑half of a cent—the amount of the instalment is taken to be reduced by the amount of the fraction; or
     (b) if the fraction is one‑half of a cent or more—the amount of the instalment is taken to be increased by treating the fraction as 1 cent.
(4) The amount of pension payable in respect of a day is one‑fourteenth of the amount of a fortnightly instalment of the pension.
Set off against pension in certain cases
68. Where:
     (a) the spouse of a deceased pensioner to whom retirement pension or invalidity pension (in this rule called the "primary pension") was payable is entitled to spouse's pension in accordance with subrule 42 (2); and
     (b) an amount, purporting to be an instalment of primary pension payable to the pensioner in respect of a period in respect of which spouse's pension is payable in accordance with that subrule, is paid into an account with a bank, credit union or building society (in this rule called the "financial institution"); and
     (c) the financial institution pays, out of that account, to the spouse of the deceased pensioner an amount not exceeding the amount so paid into the account;
CSC may make arrangements under which the amount so paid to the spouse may be offset against any amount of pension payable to the spouse in accordance with subrule 42 (2).
Interest payable where payment of benefit delayed
69. (1) Where a benefit is payable as a lump sum to a person and the payment of the benefit is delayed, CSC may, in accordance with this rule, approve an increase, by an amount of interest, in the amount of the benefit payable to the person.
(2) Where a pension is payable to, or for the benefit of a person and the commencement of the payment of that pension is delayed, CSC may, in accordance with this rule, approve an increase, by an amount of interest, in the rate of the pension payable to the person for such period as CSC determines.
(3) A pension is not to be increased under subrule (2)
