Paragraph 31 Pensionable service under the NFPSF1
England and Wales
This paragraph applies in relation to a transition member (T) who is a connected member of the NFPS, or a connected special member of the NFPS, and has continuity of service.
The following provisions of Chapter 2 (purchase of additional service) of Part 11 (pensionable pay, pension contributions and purchase of additional service) of the NFPS continue to apply after the transition date as if T continued in pensionable service under that scheme—
the provisions relating to the payment of periodical contributions for the purchase of additional service if T had made an election to purchase additional service under rule 6 (election to purchase additional service) F2...; and
the provisions relating to the payment of the mandatory special period pension contributions payable in respect of an election to purchase service during the limited period under rule 6A (election to purchase service during the limited period).
In determining whether T qualifies under the NFPS for retirement benefits (other than an award on ill-health retirement or a deferred pension), T’s pensionable service under the NFPS terminates when T’s pensionable service under this scheme terminates.
