Is it possible to transfer cash from the Pension Protection Fund to a pension scheme?

I've just found out that a pension with a previous employer has been transferred to the PPF, can I transfer that pension to another pension scheme?

Thank you.

    Once the Pension Protection Fund has assumed responsibility for the scheme, a member would not be entitled to a transfer payment unless pensionable service was ended by the start of the assessment period and at that time the member had less than 3 months’ pensionable service in the scheme.
