# The National Health Service Pension Scheme Regulations 1995, Regulation Q14: Effect of payment of additional contributions under this Part

(a) an option is exercised by a member under regulation Q8 and all the contributions to be made under the option are made;
(b) an option is exercised by a member under regulation Q10 or by a member’s employing authority under regulation Q11 and the lump sum payment is made.
(2) Subject to paragraph (7), the member’s pension is increased by the full amount of the increase to be made in accordance with the terms of the option after the final adjustment in that amount in accordance with regulation Q17.
(3) Paragraph (2) is without prejudice to any reduction falling to be made in accordance with regulation Q15(5) as a result of the member becoming entitled to payment of a pension before the member’s chosen birthday.
(4) In the case of an option under regulation Q8(1)(b), Q10(1)(b) or Q11(1)(b), any benefit payable to a surviving partner or a dependent child in respect of the member under these regulations is increased by the appropriate amount.
(5) In paragraph (4) subject to regulations Q15 and Q16(3) “the appropriate amount” means—
(a) in the case of a surviving partner pension payable under regulation G2, G4 or S4A(10), 37.5 per cent of the amount of the increase mentioned in paragraph (2) that would have applied in the member’s case if the member had become entitled to the increase on the date of death (disregarding paragraph (3));
(b) in the case of a surviving partner pension payable under regulation G3, 37.5 per cent of the amount of the increase in the member’s pension as a result of the option;
(c) in the case of a child allowance payable under regulation H3, H5 or S4A(17)(b), the appropriate fraction of 75 per cent of the amount of the increase mentioned in paragraph (2) that would have applied in the member’s case if the member had become entitled to the increase on the date of death (disregarding paragraph (3);
(d) in the case of a child allowance payable under regulation H4, the appropriate fraction of 75 per cent of the amount of the increase in the member’s pension as a result of the option.
(6) For the purposes of paragraph (5) the “appropriate fraction” means the same fraction as that applied to the member’s pension in order to calculate the amount of child allowance payable in respect of that member.
(7) Paragraph (8) applies only to an option under Q8(1)(a), Q10(1)(a) or Q11(1)(a) where a pension is to be paid for either three or six months at the same rate as the member’s pension was being paid at the date of that member’s death.
(8) Any increase in a member’s pension shall be included only in a benefit payable to a surviving partner or a dependent child in respect of the member under these regulations whilst it is being paid at the rate and for the duration of one of the periods referred to in paragraph (7).
