P becomes entitled, on the day on which the administrators receive the election, to the payment for life of a pension F2in respect of any relevant offices; and
P also becomes entitled, on that day, to the amount P would have been entitled to if P had been entitled under this regulation to the payment of a pension F3in respect of any relevant offices in respect of the period beginning with the pension start day and ending with the day before the day mentioned in sub-paragraph (a).
