A person who has made an election under regulation B5, who has since been in employment which would otherwise have been pensionable employment and who—

(a)

is in such employment, or

(b)

is not in, but expects to enter, such employment,

may at any time, by giving written notice to the Secretary of State, make an election under this regulation.

(2)

As from the date on which the election has effect, subject to regulations B1(2) and (4) and B5, any employment on and after that date is pensionable employment if it is such employment by virtue of regulations B1 to B4.

(3)

Where paragraph (1)(a) applies, an election under this regulation—

(a)

if the notice was given within 3 months after the start of any period of employment which would otherwise have been pensionable, has effect as from the first day of that employment, and

(b)

in any other case, has effect from the first day of the month after that in which the notice was given.

(4)
