  "text": "(1) In the case of a deceased deferred member, the amount of the lump sum payable under rule E.15 (death of a member: lump sum benefit) is equal to the amount of the lump sum to which the member would have become entitled under rule D.2 if the member had become entitled to a lump sum under that rule on the date of death.\nBut this is subject to paragraphs (2) and (3).\n(2) If the member was both a deferred member and an active member, the amount payable under rule E.16 is payable instead of the amount under paragraph (1) unless the amount under paragraph (1) is greater.\n(3) If a lump sum is payable in respect of the member under the AFPS 1975 by virtue of any entitlement in respect of the member as a deferred member of the AFPS 1975, the amount specified in paragraph (1) is only payable if and to the extent that it exceeds the aggregate amount of any lump sum payments made to or in respect of him under the AFPS 1975.",
