Regulation 21 Short-term compensation on deathI1

This regulation applies if a credited teacher (C) dies and a pension—

Subject to regulation 25, compensation (“short-term compensation”) is to be paid to or, as the case may be, for the benefit of every person who is or would have been entitled to payment of the short-term pension.

Subject to paragraph (4) and to regulation 29, the rate of the short-term compensation is the rate at which C’s annual compensation payable under regulation 19 would have been payable immediately before C’s death if any reduction under regulation 28 or 30 had not been made.

If C died in new employment which was pensionable employment, C is for the purposes of paragraph (3) to be taken to have ceased to be in that employment immediately before C’s death.

If the rate calculated in accordance with paragraph (3) is less than that of long-term compensation to which there is prospective entitlement under regulation 22, the rate of the short-term compensation is the same as that of the long-term compensation.
