(2) For the purposes of the calculation under paragraph (1), the member’s annual pensionable pay is to be taken to be the amount of that pay as at the day on which the member’s pensionable service begins (“the starting day”), unless paragraph (3) applies.
(3) If the transfer payment is received by the Scottish Ministers more than 12 months after the starting day, the member’s annual pensionable pay is to be taken to be the amount of that pay as at the day on which the transfer payment is received.
(4) Paragraph (3) does not apply if—

(b)the transfer payment is received by the Scottish Ministers less than three months after the date of the statement.
(5) If the transfer value payment is accepted under the public sector transfer arrangements, the period of pensionable service the member is entitled to count is to be calculated—

(b)by reference to the guidance and tables provided by the scheme actuary for the purposes of this paragraph, that are in use on the date that is used by the transferring scheme for calculating the transfer value payment.
(6) If the transfer value payment is accepted from a corresponding 2008 scheme, the period of pensionable service the member is entitled to count is the period that the member would be entitled to count if—
(a)the member’s employment to which that Section applied were NHS employment in respect of which the member was a member of this Section of the scheme; and
