(ii)was deceased;
(b)who is not a member to whom payment of part of a pension has been made pursuant to paragraph (2) of 2015 transitional regulation 25 in respect of additional pension resulting from an option under 1995 regulation 73A or 1995 regulation 73C;
(c)where, during the remedy period one or more of the following occurred—
(i)the contribution option period began in relation to the member’s option to pay additional periodical contributions under 1995 regulation 73A, 2008 regulation 34 or 2008 regulation 165;
(ii)the member’s employing authority paid to the Department the single lump sum contribution in relation to the member’s option under 1995 regulation 73C, 2008 regulation 36 or 2008 regulation 167;
(iii)the member’s employing authority paid to the Department the single lump sum contribution in relation to that authority’s option under 1995 regulation 73D, 2008 regulation 37 or 2008 regulation 168 in respect of the member; and

(2) Where this regulation applies and the scheme manager determines that the benefits to be paid to or in respect of the remedy member for the member’s remediable service are to be determined in accordance with the 2015 Regulations, the scheme manager must, after having regard to the advice of the scheme actuary, vary the member’s rights to the additional benefits purchased in respect of the options referred to in paragraph (1)(c) so that those rights are of an equivalent value to the additional pension rights the member would have secured if the contributions had been made in the relevant scheme year in which they were paid—
(a)in respect of an election under 2015 regulation 63, where paragraph (1)(c)(i) applies to or in respect of the member, and
(b)in respect of an election under 2015 regulation 61, where paragraph (1)(c)(ii) or (iii) applies to or in respect of the member.
(3) In this regulation, “pensioner member” means a person entitled to a pension, including a partial retirement pension under regulation 49 or 180 of the 2008 Regulations(1) (Partial retirement (members aged at least 55)), where—
(a)the person became entitled to that pension on or after 1st April 2015; and
(b)at the same time as the person became entitled to that pension, the person also became entitled to the immediate payment of additional pension in accordance with regulation 49(5)(c) or 180(4)(c) of the 2008 Regulations.
