Regulation M3 Guarantees where children but no spouse survive
Where a pensioner Member dies during the pensioner Member’s five year period and is survived by a relevant child or children, but no spouse, paragraph (2) of this regulation shall apply.
There shall be paid to the personal representatives of the deceased pensioner Member a lump sum which shall be calculated by deducting the amount mentioned in subparagraph (a) below from the amount mentioned in subparagraph (b) below—
the total of any pensions payable under regulation K3 (by direction of the Trustees under regulation K3(4)) for the benefit of any relevant child or children of the deceased pensioner Member, if the annual sum payable under regulation K3(2) (after the death of the pensioner Member) in respect of each relevant child were to continue during the period ending on the pensioner Member’s children’s prospective pension end date for that child;
the amount which would have been payable to the deceased pensioner Member if the annual amount of the pension to which he was entitled under regulation F1 (including an early retirement pension or an ill health pension payable by virtue of regulation H1, J1 or J3) were to have been paid to him during the remainder of the pensioner Member’s five year period after his death.
