Paragraph 27 Surviving adult dependant’s pension when a transition member dies in service on or after reaching age 55F1

This paragraph applies in relation to a transition member with continuity of service (T) who dies as an active member of AFPS 2015 on or after reaching age 55.

A pension for a surviving adult dependant is payable under rule E.1 (surviving spouses’ and civil partners’ pensions) or rule E.2 (other adult dependants’ pensions) of the AFPS 2005 in respect of service before T’s transition date.

A pension for a surviving adult dependant is payable under regulation 70 (annual rate of adult dependants’ pensions payable on death of active member) of the AFP Regulations 2014 in respect of service from T’s transition date.

Where the death is before the transition member has reached age 60, regulation 70 is to be applied as if the references in regulation 51 to regulation 54 were to regulation 54 amended as specified in paragraph 14(5).
