Paragraph 1
This paragraph applies where a person paying additional contributions for a past period in accordance with Part I of Schedule 4—
ceases to be in full-time pensionable employment before the end of the period during which they were to be paid (“the contribution period”), and
does not again enter such employment within one month and before becoming entitled to payment of retirement benefits,
and no lump sum payment is made under paragraph 5, 6 or 8 of Schedule 4.
In this paragraph, subject to sub-paragraph (5), A is the past period and B is the contribution period.
Subject to sub-paragraphs (4) and (5), the person is entitled to count as reckonable service—
where
-
C is so much of B as had elapsed when the pensionable employment ended.
Subject to sub-paragraph (5), if when the pensionable employment ended he was incapacitated and had not attained the age of 60, he is entitled to count as reckonable service—
where the contribution period would not have expired before he attained that age—
where
-
D is the period from the start of B to his 60th birthday, or
in any other case, A.
If he had elected under paragraph 4 of Schedule 4 to shorten the contribution period—
he is in any case entitled to count as reckonable service—
where
-
E is the original contribution period and F is so much of it as had elapsed by the effective date of the election, and
sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) have effect with the substitution—
as A, of
as B, of the shortened contribution period,
as C, of so much of the shortened contribution period as had elapsed when the pensionable employment ended, and
as D, of the period from the effective date of the election to his 60th birthday.
