A quick perusal of the relevant Acts seems to indicate he is indeed entitled to the Presidential pension and the facilities afforded to all Former Presidents.

He did accede to the Presidency in the substantive sense in 1997 though he wasn't elected.

The two Acts in question place no minimum requirement of presidential service or even prime ministerial service for entitlement to the full pension. These are terribly written laws.
