otherwise for three months after the member’s death.
Where paragraph (1) applies then, subject to paragraph 21 of Schedule D5 (re-employed pensioners) F2or, as the case may be (in accordance with Schedule 2 to the Transitional Regulations), regulation 50(4) of the 2002 Regulations, the annual rate of the short-term pension is a rate equal to the deceased member’s pensionable remuneration.
