(b) he has made his claim for compensation in accordance with the provisions for making claims set out in Part VII of these regulations not later than two years after the loss or diminution which is the cause of the claim; and

(c) if the cause of the claim for compensation is loss of employment—

(i) his employment was terminated for some reason other than misconduct or incapacity to perform such duties as immediately before the loss he was performing or might reasonably have been required to perform; and

(ii) he has not been offered any reasonably comparable employment under the Crown or in the service of a local authority or statutory water undertakers.

(2)  Regulation 7(2) and (3) of these regulations as to offers of employment shall apply for the purposes of this regulation.
