Paragraph 19 Effect of a section 6 electionF1
This paragraph applies where an immediate choice decision under paragraph 9(1)(a) (a section 6 election) is made in respect of R’s remediable service.
For the purposes of calculating the benefits payable to, or in respect of, R in relation to R’s re-joiner service—
R is treated as though they were a transition member with continuity of service within the meaning of paragraph 2 of Schedule 3 to the AFPS 1975, and
Chapter 3 of Part 7 of Schedule 4 to the AFPS 1975 (remediable service) applies for the purposes of determining benefits payable in respect of R’s re-joiner service.
The section 6 election is treated as a notice under rule G.4(2) of Schedule 1 to aggregate R’s earlier service under the AFPS 1975 with R’s remediable service in this Scheme.
Where a pension is payable to R under this paragraph and R dies, the provisions of this Part apply in relation to any benefits that may be payable following R’s death.
