(5) The option may only be exercised by giving notice in writing to the Scheme administrator on or before the closing date.
(6) For this purpose—
(a)the notice is treated as having been given on the date on which it is received by the Scheme administrator in such form as the Secretary of State requires, and
(b)the closing date is 31st January 2008, unless the Secretary of State considers that a later date is appropriate and has specified that date in a notice in writing given to the Scheme administrator not later than 31st January 2008, in which case it is the date so specified.
(7) The option takes effect—
(a)if on the day after the closing date the person exercising the option—

(b)on becoming a member, would become entitled to payments under articles 8 to 10 of the Armed Forces Early Departure Payments Scheme Order 2005 (eligibility, entitlement and amount of early departure payments).]
(8) The option is irrevocable unless paragraph (9) applies.

(10) If a person revokes an option in accordance with paragraph (9), these Rules apply as if the person had never exercised the option.]
