134.Rule 35 provides for the calculation of an individual’s “total reckonable service”. Total reckonable service is used in relation to the calculation of entitlement to short service refunds under Part M and entitlement to transfers under Part N.
135.Total reckonable service is the total of any periods where an individual acquires reckonable service:
	as an MSP only (under rule 33);
	as an office-holder only (under rule 34); and
	as both an MSP and office-holder (under both rules 33 and 34).
136.The wording of the rule avoids any period of service being double-counted. Any period during which an individual is both an MSP and office-holder would be counted under rule 35(c) only.
