a prospective member:
         (a) to complete and forward to CSC a questionnaire prepared by CSC concerning his/her health and other matters no later than 14 days after becoming a member or such other period as CSC allows; and/or
         (b) to undergo one or more medical examinations and/or tests by an approved medical practitioner or practitioners nominated by CSC within 60 days after becoming a member or such other period as CSC allows;

unless the member:

    (A) transferred from the CSS scheme; or
         (B) was in receipt of an invalidity pension under the Superannuation Act 1976 on 30 June 1990 and continued to receive that pension until joining the PSS scheme; or

10.1.2 The membership status of a new member because of his/her state of health carries over from any concurrent membership that began before the new membership, that is, if the new member:
         (a) is a limited benefits member (see Division 2 of this Part) in respect of the concurrent membership, he/she is also a limited benefits member in respect of the new membership until the period of the limited benefits membership in respect of the concurrent period ends; or
         (b) is not a limited benefits member (see Division 2 of this Part) in respect of the concurrent membership, he/she is also not a limited benefits member in respect of the new membership.

10.2.1 CSC may determine that a member is, or a prospective member on becoming a member would be, a limited benefits member if, after considering:
         (a) any questionnaire and report or reports of medical examinations and/or tests completed under Rule 10.1.1; and
    (b)              any other matters CSC considers relevant;

it is of the opinion that the person is not of sufficiently sound health to carry out all of the duties his/her position would require without taking excessive sick leave during the three years from the date he/she became a member, unless the member or prospective member has advised CSC that he/she is also a member of the CSS Scheme or the PSS Scheme in respect of a concurrent period that commenced before this period of membership (see Rule 10.1.2).

Note: Membership status, that is whether a member is a limited benefits member or not, is determined by CSC for a person's first period of membership and applies to all other concurrent periods (see Rule 10.1.2).
 For example, if a person were to commence part‑time work and be determined to be a limited benefits member, and then two years later also starts to work in a second position concurrently,
