Regulation 6 Survivor benefitsI1

Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), any survivor benefits payable in respect of a person to whom regulation 3 or 4 applies are calculated as if the Benefits Regulations applied to all of his membership, whether accrued before or after 1st April 2008.

The survivor benefits payable in respect of a deferred member to whom regulation 4 does not apply are calculated as if his total membership before 1st April 2008 was a separate period of membership to which the conditions in force at the time he became a deferred member apply.

Regulation 42 of the 1997 Regulations continues to apply to a deferred or pensioner member who marries after becoming such a member.
