Condition 1
The individual applies to the Fund trustees for payment of a partner's trivial lump sum instead of a partner's pension.

(a)a partner's pension, or
(b)a death in service lump sum.
Condition 3
The individual is not entitled to receive pension payments under rule 69.
Condition 4
The Fund trustees are satisfied that, if paid, the partner's trivial lump sum would be a “trivial commutation lump sum death benefit” for the purposes of Part 2 of Schedule 29 to the Finance Act 2004 (c. 12).
(2) The amount of a partner's trivial lump sum is to be an amount equal to the value of the individual's scheme benefits (as determined by the Fund trustees).
(3) Such a determination must be—
(a) certified by the scheme actuary, or
(b) made in accordance with guidance or tables prepared by the scheme actuary.
(4) Payment of a partner's trivial lump sum extinguishes all the individual's rights to receive scheme benefits in respect of the deceased.
