(a) when the person ceased to hold his employment he had become incapacitated and had not attained the age of 60; and

(b) he would have attained that age before the end of the contribution period,

the amount of the payment is, subject to paragraph 3 of Schedule 3, the actuarial equivalent, when the employment ended, of the additional contributions that would have been payable after he attained that age.
