(c)where—
(i)the benefit is payable on retirement or death of the member, and
(ii)the condition is met,
the base amount.
(2) The condition mentioned in paragraph (1)(c)(ii) is that—
(a)the amount of pension payable under Part 2 would be greater than the amount of pension payable under Part 3, where—
(i)any enhancement for the purposes of regulation 52 or 182 (enhancement of ill-health pensions), as appropriate, is ignored,
(ii)any additional pension is disregarded, and
(iii)any increase under the Pensions (Increase) Act (Northern Ireland) 1971 is applied, and

(ii)the amount of pensionable pay received in respect of that officer service were treated as pensionable earnings as a practitioner for the respective period,
(b)the amount payable under Part 2 (if any) if the member's pensionable service as an officer were reduced by the discrete period of pensionable service as an officer in sub-paragraph (a), and
(c)the amount payable under Part 3 but for the operation of this Part.
271. Calculation method B is the aggregate of—
