(1)For the purposes of this section, a person’s entitlement to a shared additional pension is deferred—

and, in relation to a shared additional pension, “period of deferment” shall be construed accordingly.
(2)Where a person’s entitlement to a shared additional pension is deferred, the rate of his shared additional pension shall be increased by an amount equal to the aggregate of the increments to which he is entitled under subsection (3) below, but only if that amount is enough to increase the rate of the pension by at least one per cent.
(3)A person is entitled to an increment under this subsection for each complete incremental period in his period of enhancement.
