where
AR means P’s annual rate of pensionable earnings—
(i)as at the last day of pensionable service; or

PS means P’s prospective service (in years and fractions of a year);
“P’s prospective service” means the period beginning with the day after the entitlement day and ending on the day on which P would have reached prospective normal pension age.

(a)P is in an eligible employment;
(b)the terms of that employment are changed wholly or partly because of P’s ill-health; and
(c)as a result of the changed terms of employment, P’s annual rate of pensionable earnings is reduced;
(3) For the purpose of paragraph (ii) of the definition of AR, P’s annual rate of pensionable earnings is increased by the amount (if any) by which it would have been increased if it had been an official pension within the meaning of section 5(1) of the Pensions (Increase) Act (Northern Ireland) 1971—
(a)beginning, and first qualifying for increases under that Act, on the day after the day on which P’s annual rate of pensionable earnings is reduced; and
