Any difference in the pension payments or benefits found to be due to such employee by reason of such recomputation and for the period prior to the enactment hereof shall be paid to such employee in a lump sum computed from the date of his retirement. After the passage and approval of this Act, pension payments found to be due by a recomputation as provided for herein shall be payable in the manner provided by Chapter 104 of Volume 45, Laws of Delaware.
