a member (P) left service in an employment to which the Civil Service Compensation Scheme (Northern Ireland)applies in circumstances where P received benefits under rule 2.2, 2A.3, 3.1, 3.2a or 7.2 of the Civil Service Compensation Scheme (Northern Ireland) which were enhanced to take account of a period after P left service (“the period of prospective service”);

P subsequently begins service in a scheme employment; and

the period beginning with the day after P’s last day of service as referred to in paragraph and ending with the day before P subsequently begins service as referred to in paragraph (b) is less than the period of prospective service.

P does not accrue any earned pension under this scheme; and

the rules of the PCSPS(NI) apply, with the exception of rules relating to payment of contributions by the employer and the member.

P is treated as an active member of this scheme during the period of prospective service; and

the period of prospective service counts as qualifying service.
