Paragraph 9
In the case of a person who—
became a member by virtue of an election under paragraph 1(1) of Part IV of Schedule 2 to the 1986 regulations made before 1st April 1988 or by virtue of paragraph 4 of that Part, or
became a member in a whole-time employment at any time after 31st March 1974 and before 1st April 1988 and had previously been in a part-time employment under a LGPS employer,
any previous period of employment under a LGPS employer after the material date, except a period which was followed by one of 12 months or more during which he was not employed by such an employer counts as a period to which this Part of this Schedule applies in relation to the employment in which he is a member.
For the purpose of sub-paragraph (1), “the material date” is the earliest date from which, if Part IV of Schedule 2 to the 1986 regulations had come into force on 1st April 1974, an election or, as the case may be, a deemed election by him could have effect.
