Regulation C6 Periodical payments to increase reckonable serviceI1
England, Wales and Scotland
Subject to paragraph (4), a pensionable employee may at any time, by notice in writing given to the appropriate administering authority, elect to make additional contributions to the appropriate superannuation fund in order to become entitled under regulation D5 to reckon an additional period as reckonable service in relation to an employment in which he is a pensionable employee.
The length of the period is not to exceed the maximum calculated in accordance with Schedule 3 and the additional contributions are to be calculated in accordance with Part II of Schedule 4.
The additional contributions—
are payable, at such intervals as the appropriate administering authority may determine, from the employee's birthday next following the date of the election, and
subject to paragraph (5), cease to be payable on the day before the birthday on which, or as the case may be his last birthday before, the employee attains pensionable age.
An employee may not make an election under this regulation if—
he has attained the age of 64 years, or
he was precluded by regulation D13(5)(b) of the 1974 regulations from making an election under that regulation, or
the appropriate administering authority have resolved that he should (at his own expense) undergo a medical examination and he has not done so to their satisfaction.
Payment in accordance with paragraph (3) may be discontinued if the employee satisfies the appropriate administering authority' that its continuance would cause financial hardship.
