(5) In the case of a person to whom the 2015 Regulations apply, and who is a not practitioner, that person’s yearly average earnings are the greater of—
(a)the optimum re-valued pensionable earnings in that person’s HSC employment; and
(b)the annual rate of pay for that employment at the time it ceased.
(6) In the case of a person to whom the 2015 Regulations apply, and who is a practitioner, that person’s yearly average earnings are the average of the annual amounts that would be, or would have been, the person’s re-valued pensionable earnings in respect of practitioner service or service which is treated as practitioner service.
