Regulation 22 Entitlement to children’s short-term compensation
This regulation applies where an eligible person who has been granted a credited period under regulation 8 dies and is survived by an eligible child or children—
who is or are entitled to receive a children’s short-term pension under regulation G4 or G7 of the LGPS Regulations in relation to the deceased’s former employment; or
who would be so entitled apart from—
a relevant disqualification with respect to the deceased (and on the relevant assumptions); or
the transfer of benefits to another pension scheme.
Where this regulation applies, children’s short-term compensation is payable to or for the benefit of such eligible child or eligible children as are mentioned in paragraph (1)—
if a children’s short-term pension under regulation G4 or G7 of the LGPS Regulations is payable for the period of 3 months beginning with the date of the death, for that period; and
otherwise, for the period of 6 months beginning with that date.
Children’s short-term compensation is not payable in respect of a period for which surviving spouse’s short-term compensation is payable to the surviving spouse of the deceased.
