The Superannuation (Civil Service and Local Government) Interchange Rules 1968

Reckoning of previous service

17.—(1) Subject to the provisions of these rules, the period of the officer's service which for the purposes of the Superannuation Act is reckonable as service in the capacity of a civil servant, and any period of national service after the officer's ceasing to be employed as a civil servant which would have been reckonable as service in the capacity of a civil servant for the purposes of the Superannuation Act, had the officer again become employed as a civil servant on the termination of his national service, shall, if the Treasury have paid a transfer value in respect of the officer under rule 19 of these rules, be reckoned as contributing service for the purposes of the Act of 1937 or the Scottish Act of 1937, or as service or a period of contribution for the purposes of a local Act scheme, as the case may be.

(2) Where any part of the officer's service which for the purpose of the Superannuation Act is reckonable as service in the capacity of a civil servant is attributable to service which, before he became a civil servant, was noncontributing service for local government superannuation purposes or for the purposes of regulations made under section 67 of the National Health Service Act 1946 or section 66 of the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1947, such service shall be reckonable in the officer's local government employment in the manner and to the extent to which it would be reckonable if in his employment as a civil servant he had been a contributory employee.

(3) Where account is taken of any period of the officer's service for the purpose of determining whether he has served for the minimum period prescribed by the Superannuation Act as necessary for any pension to be paid to or in respect of him, that period shall to the same extent be reckonable in his local government employment for the purpose of determining whether he has served for the minimum period prescribed by or under the enactment or scheme applicable to him in his local government employment for any pension to be paid to or in respect of him.

(4) Where at any time after the Rules of 1950 became, or these rules have become, applicable to an officer, any further period of his employment has become or becomes reckonable as service in the capacity of a civil servant, that period shall, if the Treasury have paid a transfer value in respect of it under rule 19 of these rules, be reckoned in the same manner as any other such service of the officer is reckoned under paragraph (1) of this rule.
