(2) Regulation 22(b) of these Regulations shall not apply in relation to any benefit which is being paid or may become payable under the principal Regulations to or in respect of any person who, having served in an employment or office service which qualifies persons to participate in the benefits for which those Regulations provide, has ceased to serve or has died before these Regulations came into operation.

(a) in relation to any person who has completed 5 or more years' service as an officer and whose employment as such an officer terminated before 1st January 1986 (or who ceased to be subject to the principal Regulations before that date), so as to allow him to exercise an option under regulation 80 of the principal Regulations which would not have been available to him had these Regulations not have been made; or
(b) in relation—
(i) to transfer payments made by the Secretary of State to statutory schemes, or schemes which fall to be treated by him as statutory schemes for the purposes of Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations, where an application was received by him before 6th April 1988, and
(ii) to transfer payments made by such schemes to the Secretary of State before that date.
(5) Where the whole, or any part of, a transfer payment made in respect of a person—

(b) is to be used by the Secretary of State, at that person’s option, to acquire transfer credits in an occupational pension scheme; and
