The Postal Services Act 2011 (Transfer of Accrued Pension Rights) Order 2012

Transfer of RMPP Reckonable Service

4.  All RMPP Reckonable Service built up in a Member’s Former Section in relation to that Member’s period of service immediately prior to the date of joining Section E of the RMPP (which was transferred to Section E of the RMPP in accordance with the provisions of Section E of the RMPP Rules applying to the Member upon the date of that Member joining Section E of the RMPP) was treated as if it were RMPP Reckonable Service in Section E of the RMPP and was continuous with RMPP Reckonable Service accrued after joining Section E of the RMPP. All such continuous RMPP Reckonable Service accrued under a Former Section and accrued after joining Section E of the RMPP, up to the end of the Cut-Off Date, will be counted as RMSPS Reckonable Service for the purposes of these Section E Rules. For avoidance of doubt, no Section E Active has any rights under Section A or Section B of the RMSPS in relation to RMPP Reckonable Service accrued under a Former Section (unless the RMPP Reckonable Service under a Former Section was not treated under the RMPP Rules as continuous with that Member’s RMPP Reckonable Service under Section E and hence does not form part of that Member’s RMSPS Reckonable Service; in such a case, the Member will be treated as a Wholly Transferred Beneficiary in relation to that prior RMPP Reckonable Service).
