Paragraph 31 Eligible child’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 and for whom the conditions of regulation 72 (surviving children’s pensions) of the AFP Regulations 2014 apply.

A pension for an eligible child is payable under rule E.8 of the AFPS 2005 in respect of service before T’s transition date.

A pension for an eligible child is payable under regulation 74 (annual rate of children’s pensions) 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, the calculation of the member’s earned pension is to take account of the amendment in paragraph 14(5) to regulation 54.
