Regulation K14 Right to count service
Where a transfer value has been accepted under regulation K13 in relation to a person, he shall be entitled—
subject to regulation K17(4), and (6), to count a period calculated as mentioned in regulation K15 or, as the case may be, regulation K16 as period of membership for all purposes of these regulations (except that of determining whether there is any entitlement to benefit (other than any benefit under regulation D19)), and
to count as a period to which Part II of Schedule B6 applies all the service in respect of which he has accrued rights to benefits under his previous occupational pension scheme or appropriate policy, as certified by the trustees of that scheme or issuers of that policy, whether the transfer value relates to some or all of those accrued rights.
For the purposes of making any collocation under these regulations a period of membership which may be counted under paragraph (1)(a) shall be treated—
where the person is a man, as a period after 5th April 1978, and
where the person is a woman, as a period after 5th April 1988.
A period which may be counted under paragraph (1)(b) shall count as its actual length.
The fund authority shall provide the person with a written notice stating—
the periods of membership which he is entitled to count under paragraph (1)(a) and (b), and
in the case of a person who became employed in his local government employment before 1st April 1980, whether or not his retirement pension is subject to reduction under regulation K18 or K19.
A notice under paragraph (4) shall contain a statement of the kind required by regulation J4(2)(c).
