It also forbade combining any of the four above pensions (sections 1–4) unless he had served 3–5 years in the highest of two or more of those offices and 10 years in total, in which case he would be allowed £1,000 a year (section 5). It also required the applicant for any pension covered by the act to apply to the Treasury for it with proof that his income was so low that he needed the pension (section 6). The remainder of the act set out pensions for clerks and "officers" in the civil service.
