7.—(1) Regulation C20 (effect of opting out of membership on certain additional payments) applies where a person is by virtue of this Schedule continuing to make additional periodical payments in pursuance of the 1986 regulations or the 1974 regulations as it applies where he has elected to make payments under regulation C9 or C13, but subject to paragraph (2).
(2) In the case of such payments as are mentioned in paragraph 1(4)(a) to (c), regulation C20 does not apply but—
(a)paragraphs 5 and 6 of Schedule 6 to the 1986 regulations (as continued in effect by paragraphs 1 and 9) shall apply as if the member had ceased to hold a local government employment on the day on which he ceased to be a member; and
(b)without prejudice to paragraph (a), if on that assumption he would become entitled to preserved benefits, he may give notice under paragraph 6 of that Schedule.
8.
