Paragraph 26

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

If a person to whom this Part applies–

(a)

chose, while he or she was a member of the scheme to increase his or her right to benefits under the scheme by buying additional service under regulation Q1 of the 1995 Regulations by making regular additional contributions;

(b)

at the time of the relevant transfer referred to in paragraph 25 had not completed the payment of the additional contributions; and

(c)

a transfer value has been accepted by the Scottish Ministers,

he or she may complete the payment of such contributions as if Part Q of the 1995 Regulations applied to him or her and shall accordingly be entitled to count as reckonable service the additional service which would have been bought under Part Q of the 1995 Regulations by the payment of such contributions.

(2)

Regulation C15 shall apply to the contributions referred to in this paragraph as if such contributions were paid under regulation C6.

(3)

For the purposes of any provision in these Regulations which imposes a maximum on the contributions which a person can make, the contributions referred to in this paragraph shall be treated as paid under Part C.
