Paragraph 29 Amount of lump sum death benefit payable under this scheme when a transition member dies in service with accrued benefits in the NFPSF1

This paragraph applies in relation to a transition member (T) who is a member of the NFPS and who dies as an active member of this scheme.

Subject to paragraph (3), where T dies as a pensioner member of the NFPS, the amount of the lump sum death benefit payable under this scheme is the greater of the amount of the lump sum death benefit payable under regulation 96(2) and the amount of post–retirement death grant payable under rule 2 (post-retirement death grant) of Part 5 of the NFPS.

Where T at the time of T’s death was a pensioner member of this scheme and an active member of this scheme, and regulation 98 (lump sum payable on death in certain cases) applies, in a case where the greater amount of the lump sum death benefit payable is that under regulation 97 (lump sum payable on death of pensioner member), “regulation 96” in sub-paragraph (2) is to be read as “regulation 97”.
