(c)to acquire for the member entitlement to further benefits under the same scheme, relating both to a period of pensionable service previously terminated and also to a subsequent period of service in relevant employment.

(b)in exceptional circumstances of serious ill-health; or
(c)in such other circumstances as may be prescribed;
