Regulation 4 Restriction on eligibility for active membership
Subject to paragraph (4), if a person's employment entitles the person to belong to another public service pension scheme, or would so entitle them were it not for their age, that employment does not entitle the person to be an active member of the Scheme, unless that other scheme was made under section 7 of the Superannuation Act 1972 M1.
A person who is an employee of an admission body may not be an active member of the Scheme if the person is a member of another occupational pension scheme in relation to the employment in respect of which that person would otherwise be eligible to be a member of the Scheme under regulation 3.
A person may not become or remain an active member on or after the person's 75th birthday.
A person may be a member of the Scheme despite being entitled to be a member of the National Health Service Pension Scheme for Scotland (“the NHS Scheme”) M2 if—
that person's entitlement to be a member of the NHS Scheme is by reason of the person's employment by an NHS Scheme employing authority as a result of a prescribed arrangement under section 15 of the Community Care and Health (Scotland) Act 2002 (delegation etc. between local authorities and NHS bodies M3);
the person is specified in, or within a class of employees specified in, an admission agreement made between an administering authority and an NHS Scheme employing authority; and
the person was an active member of the scheme immediately before that person's employment by the NHS Scheme employing authority.
