A relevant pension sharing order complies with this paragraph if—

it specifies an appropriate amount in accordance with section 29(2) or (3) of WRPA 1999,

(b)

the amount is specified by reference to the value of remediable relevant benefits to which D is entitled,

(c)

D is entitled to those benefits by virtue of remediable shareable rights secured in both D’s legacy scheme and the 2015 scheme,

(and, accordingly, a relevant pension sharing order does not relate to mixed service if it specifies an appropriate amount by reference to remediable shareable rights secured in only one of those schemes).
