The Local Government Pension Scheme (Transitional Provisions, Savings and Amendment) Regulations 2014

8.—(1) This paragraph applies to a person who was an active member of one of the Earlier Schemes before 1st October 2006 and who—

(a) ceases to be an active member of the 1998 Scheme, the 2008 Scheme or the 2014 Scheme (whether before, on, or after that date); and

(b) resumes active membership.

(2) If a member to whom this paragraph applies aggregates any period of membership after the resumption of employment with the period of membership accrued in the previous local government employment—

(a) where the member resumed active membership in the 2014 Scheme and has had a disqualifying break, this Schedule does not apply to the earlier period, except in applying this Schedule to the later period of membership, for the purposes of paragraph 4 (determining whether the member satisfies the 85 year rule); or

(b) where the member resumed active membership in an Earlier Scheme, or resumed active membership in the 2014 Scheme without a disqualifying break, this Schedule applies to the whole period of the aggregated membership.

(3) A disqualifying break for the purposes of paragraph (2) is a continuous break in active membership of a public service pension scheme of more than five years.
