# The Armed Forces Early Departure Payments Scheme Regulations 2014, Regulation 22: Effect of rejoining the armed forces having received a lump sum award for incapacity for armed forces service

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

(1) Subject to paragraph (2), where a person is accepted for re-entry to the armed forces that person is to retain any previous lump sum paid under regulation 19 (lump sum awards: incapacity for armed forces service).
(2) On rejoining the regular forces a person must repay any unexpired part of the lump sum.
(3) In paragraph (2) ‘unexpired part’ is to be determined by applying the following formula—
(1−(A÷B))× lump sum received
where—
A is the period in years and complete months since the person ceased to be in regular service; and
B is the amount of lump sum awarded multiplied by 8 and then divided by the person’s final pensionable earnings as used to calculate the lump sum award.
(4) If a person becomes entitled to a subsequent payment under regulation 19, only that period of service from the point at which the person rejoined the armed forces is to be used for the purpose of calculating the amount of the lump sum under regulation 19.
