(2) A member—

(4) Subject to sub-paragraph (5), the amount of any pension or retirement lump sum which a member is entitled to receive under sub-paragraph (1) or (2) is the same as the amount of the pension or retirement lump sum which the member would have been entitled to receive under these Regulations if the member had left pensionable employment on the day on which the member ceased to be in officer service or, as the case may be, ceased to be in practitioner service.
