                        b.                                                                                                                         They have served at least 1 year of effective service and cease continuous full-time service because their service in the Defence Force is terminated for one of the following reasons.
                                                                                                                                                   i.                                                                                                                                                                                       They are medically unfit for service in the Defence Force.
                                                                                                                                                   ii.                                                                                                                                                                                      They cannot usefully serve because of redundancy in the Defence Force.
                        c.                                                                                                                         They have served at least 1 year of effective service and cease continuous full-time service because they have reached the latter of the following.
                                                                                                                                                   i.                                                                                                                                                                                       They have reached their retirement age.
                                                                                                                                                   ii.                                                                                                                                                                                      They are no longer allowed to serve beyond their retirement age.
                        d.                                                                                                                         They have served at least 1 year of effective service and cease continuous full-time service in connection with receiving a special benefit under Chapter 2 Part 3 Division 3.
                        e.                                                                                                                         Before ceasing continuous full-time service they are diagnosed with a terminal-illness and the CDF is satisfied that making the payment is reasonable in the circumstances.
