(b)
where the initial scheme is the reformed scheme, D’s legacy scheme;
“C’s pension account” has the meaning given in regulation 21(4);
“initial amount” means the total amount determined for the purposes of the relevant pension sharing order under section 29(2) and (3) of WRPA 1999 in relation to D’s remediable shareable rights;
“initial reduction amount” means the amount by which D’s remediable relevant benefits were reduced pursuant to the relevant pension sharing order;

(3)
For the purposes of this Section, a relevant pension sharing order relates to mixed service if it specifies an appropriate amount in accordance with section 29(2) or (3) of WRPA 1999 by reference to the value of remediable relevant benefits to which D is entitled by virtue of remediable shareable rights secured in both D’s legacy scheme and the reformed scheme (and, accordingly, a relevant pension sharing order does not relate to mixed service if it specifies an appropriate amount by reference to remediable shareable rights secured in only one of those schemes).
