Paragraph 2 Post-retirement death grant

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

Where—

(a)

a pension under any of rules 1 to 3, 5 or 6 of Part 3 is in payment; and

(b)

the pensioner dies within five years of the pension coming into payment,

the authority shall pay, by way of post-retirement death grant, an amount equal to the difference between—

(i)

the amount that they would have paid to the pensioner in that five year period, disregarding any increase in the pension that might have become payable after his death, and

(ii)

the amount paid to him before his death (including any lump sum that he may have received on commutation under rule 9 or 10 of Part 3).

(2)

Paragraphs (9) to (11) of rule 1 shall apply in relation to a grant under this rule as they apply in relation to a death grant.
