(b)as if the Optant became an active member for the first time on the first day of any period of pensionable service credited to that Optant under regulation 2.K.3 that relates to a period of pensionable service in the 1995 Section after that Optant’s earnings were reduced as described in paragraph (1).
(3) The Optant’s benefits in respect of a protected service credit mentioned in paragraph (2)(a) must be calculated—
(a)separately; and
(b)by reference to the final year’s pensionable pay calculated in accordance with regulation C1 (meaning of “pensionable pay”) of the 2011 Regulations in respect of that particular period.
