20 Application of certain definitions to transferred contributors
(1) For the purpose of applying the definition of prospective benefit points in section 36 of the current Act (definitions) to a transferred contributor, the reference in that definition to applicable contribution periods shall be construed as including any period occurring before that contributor’s entry date where that period would have been taken into account in calculating a benefit payable to that contributor under the former Act—
(a) if the benefit had become payable immediately before 1 April 1988, and
(b) if the former Act had then been in force.
(2) For the purpose of applying the definition of average contribution rate per cent in section 36 of the current Act to a transferred contributor, that definition shall be construed as if a reference in it to the sum of rates per cent of salary at which a contributor was liable to pay a contribution for a contribution period were a reference to the sum of benefit points accrued by the transferred contributor.
