Regulation 89 Payments under this PartI1
United Kingdom
Except where specified otherwise in this Part, a pension under this Part is payable from the day after the date of the member’s death.
Payments of a lump sum payable under this Part must be made before the expiry of the period of 2 years beginning with the earlier of—
the day on which the scheme manager first knew of the member’s death; and
the day on which the scheme manager could reasonably be expected to have known of the member’s death.
The annual amount of pension paid to a person under this Part is to be increased by such amount as the scheme manager, after consulting with the scheme actuary, may determine, if—
the scheme manager has determined that a lump sum should be paid to the person under this Part, but the lump sum is not paid within 2 years of the date of the death; or
the scheme manager has determined that, but for paragraph (1), a lump sum would have been paid to the person.
Unless the scheme manager directs otherwise, a pension payable under this Part in respect of an eligible child aged under 18 is to be paid—
if the child is in the care of the member’s surviving spouse or civil partner or a person who is the member’s surviving adult dependant for the purposes of regulation 64 (other adult dependants’ pensions), to the surviving spouse or civil partner or the adult dependant; and
in any other case, to the child’s guardian.
