The court held that 'has not joined the HPS' excludes anyone who has ever joined the HPS; receipt of HPS allowance in 1991 meant the applicant had joined and was therefore ineligible for HFS; although the Director initially indicated a policy-based refusal, subsequent consideration was adequate and the refusal to grant exceptional approval was not Wednesbury-unreasonable; application dismissed.
