2.K.14.—(1) This regulation applies to a 2008 Section Optant who—
(a)has submitted a form AW8 (or such other form as the Scottish Ministers are willing to accept) together with supporting medical evidence (if not included on the form) for the purposes of an ill health pension payable in accordance with regulation E3 (early retirement pension on ill health grounds (post 1st April 2008)) of the 2011 Regulations; and
(b)that form and supporting medical evidence was received by the Scottish Ministers before the date on which the Scottish Ministers received the Optant’s option to join this Section of the scheme.
(2) Subject to paragraph (5) if the Optant referred to in paragraph (1) becomes entitled to a pension under regulation 2.D.8(3) (“an upper tier ill health pension”) within a period of one year beginning with the day on which that Optant’s option to join this Section of the scheme is received—
(a)that Optant’s service must be increased by the enhancement period determined in accordance with paragraph (3) (“the transitional enhancement period”); and
(b)the transitional enhancement period must apply to that Optant’s service in place of the enhancement period that, apart from this regulation, would otherwise apply to the Optant’s service under regulation 2.D.8(6).
(3) Subject to paragraph (4), in this regulation—
“the transitional enhancement period” means two-thirds of the Optant’s assumed pensionable service; and
“the Optant’s assumed pensionable service” means the further pensionable service that the Optant could have counted if the Optant had continued in service until reaching age 60.
(4) If the transitional enhancement period determined under paragraph (3) is less than four years pensionable service, the transitional enhancement period by which the Optant’s pensionable service is increased must be the lesser of—
(a)4 years pensionable service; and
(b)the pensionable service the Optant could have counted if the Optant had continued in service until reaching age 60.
(5) In the case of an Optant to whom this regulation applies, references to the “enhancement period” in regulation 2.D.8 are to be read as references to the “transitional enhancement period” determined under this regulation.
