Tapered protection members of an existing scheme or an existing public body pension scheme

21.  This paragraph applies if—

(a) paragraph 13 or 14 of this Schedule would have applied but for the fact that P would not have been a fully protected member of the existing scheme or existing public body pension scheme referred to in paragraph 13(c) or 14(c), as the case may be, (“transferring scheme”) on the date P begins service which is pensionable under the NFPS; and

(b) P would have been a protected member of the transferring scheme by virtue of an exception to which section 18(7)(a) and (b) of the 2013 Act (or that section as applied by section 31(4)) applies had P re-entered service which is pensionable under the transferring scheme on the date P returns to service which is pensionable under the NFPS.
