Interruption of service
86(1)This rule applies—
(a)where an MSP member buying added years by monthly instalments stops being an MSP before paying the last instalment, and
(b)where an office-holder member (who is not an MSP) buying added years by monthly instalments stops holding his or her current office (or becomes an MSP) before paying the last instalment.
(2)Where this rule applies no more instalments are payable and the individual’s reckonable service as an MSP or, as the case may be, office-holder is increased—
(a)where the individual died or left the scheme in circumstances entitling him or her to a serious ill-health pension, by the number of added years by which it would have increased if all the instalments had been paid, or
(b)where the individual leaves the scheme in any other circumstance, by a number of added years calculated as follows—
where—
“A” is the number of added years the individual applied to buy,
“B” is the period (in days) in respect of which instalments have been paid, and
“C” is the period (in days) for which instalments would have been paid had the individual remained in the scheme continuously.
