11 Special provisions as to period of service

(1) Where a member on termination of service has been granted pay in lieu of leave accrued in respect of his or her war service, a period from the termination of his or her service equal to the number of days for which he or she was granted pay in lieu of that leave shall, for the purposes of sections seven and nine of this Act, be deemed to be service as a member. (2) Days of overseas qualifying service or general qualifying service shall not include: (a) any day in respect of which a member was not entitled to the full pay appropriate to the member’s appointment, rank or rating or in respect of which the member’s pay was forfeited, or, in the case of a member of the Naval Forces, any day on which the member was absent without leave and in respect of which the member’s pay was mulcted under the appropriate Naval Regulations; or (b) any day which was not part of the continuous full‑time war service of a member: Provided that, where a prescribed authority is satisfied, in respect of any day in respect of which a member was not entitled to the full pay appropriate to the member’s appointment, rank or rating or in respect of which the member’s pay was forfeited or mulcted, that there exist mitigating circumstances which justify the inclusion of that day as a day of overseas qualifying service or general qualifying service, the prescribed authority may direct that that day be so included.
