If the member leaves pensionable employment on or after 1st April 2008 and dies within 12 months after leaving, the widow’s pension will be equal to one-half of the pension that would have been payable to the member under this Section of the scheme if the member had retired through ill health with a tier 2 pension under regulation E2A on the day the member left pensionable employment.

If the member dies 12 months or more after leaving pensionable employment, the widow’s pension will be equal to one–half of the member’s preserved pension.
