Regulation F3 Deferred pensioner’s spouse’s long-term pensionF1I1
Northern Ireland
If a person who is not a member dies leaving a surviving spouse or spouses and at the time of his death he—
was entitled to preserved benefits, or
was in a local government employment and would have been so entitled if he had ceased to hold that employment immediately before that time,
that spouse is entitled or, as the case may be, they are jointly entitled, to a spouse’s long-term pension.
Subject to regulation F6 (post retirement marriages), the annual rate of the long-term pension to which a spouse is entitled under paragraph (1) is half the annual rate of the retirement pension to which the deceased would have been entitled if on the date of death he had become entitled under regulation D5.
Where the deceased was a pension debit member, the long-term pension is equal to half the pension to which he would have been entitled under regulation D5 if he had become entitled to a pension under that regulation on the date that he died.
