(2) If the lump sum is not paid within one month after the date on which the election was accepted the election ceases to have effect.

14.—(1) Subject to paragraphs 15 and 16 below and paragraph 16(3) of Schedule 10, this paragraph applies where the person’s contributable salary was reduced (whether in consequence of a change of post or otherwise) within—

(a) the year, or

(b) if when notice of the election was given he had attained the age of 57, the period of 3 years,

ending immediately before the date on which notice of the election was given.

(2) Where this paragraph applies, paragraph 13 has effect with the substitution as “B” of the annual rate of the contributable salary that would have been payable at that date if he had continued to be employed in the same post and on the same terms.

15.  Where notice of the election was given on or after applying for payment of retirement benefits, paragraph 13 has effect with the substitution as “B” of the person’s average salary.

16.  Where notice of the election was given when the person was in part-time employment, the references in paragraphs 13 and 14 to contributable salary are to be construed as references to that which would have been payable if the person had at all material times been in comparable full-time employment.
