Paragraph 6 Rejoining the Scheme

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), a person who has made a contributions election may cancel it by giving written notice to the authority.

(2)

Paragraph (1) does not apply where the person—

(a)

is entitled to reckon forty or more years of pensionable service for the purposes of the Scheme; or

(b)

has previously given notice under this rule, unless the authority have declined to accept it.

(3)

The authority may resolve that a person’s election may not be cancelled unless the person has undergone a medical examination, at that person’s own expense, and satisfied them as to the person’s good health.

(4)

Where an election under rule 5(1) is cancelled —

(a)

the person must resume the making of pension contributions; and

(b)

will again be a firefighter member of the Scheme,

with effect from the day on which begins the first pay period falling after the date on which the notice under paragraph (1) of this rule is received.
