Subject to sub-paragraphs (3) and (4), the appropriate time is the first day of the earliest period that the person is entitled to reckon as reckonable service in relation to his local government employment.

(3)

Subject to sub-paragraph (4), in relation to a person who is entitled to reckon as reckonable service—

(a)

any period of non-contributing service such as is mentioned in regulation 18(4) of the 1962 regulations (as originally enacted);

(b)

any period of service or employment he was entitled to reckon for the purposes of the former regulations other than employment as a civil servant, a health service employee or as a person in teaching service; or

(c)

any period reckonable by virtue of regulation J9(1)(a) or regulation 70(1)(a) of the 1981 regulations, unless the transfer value was paid by the scheme managers of a statutory scheme,

the appropriate time is the day on which he first became a contributory employee or, as the case may be, a pensionable employee, after the end of the period mentioned in (a), (b) or (c) above or the period of employment to which the transfer value relates, or of the last of such periods if there is more than one.
