Regulation 145 Enhancement of surviving adult pension

(1)

This regulation applies if a member (D) has not reached prospective normal pension age and—

(a)

dies in service; or

(b)

dies as a pensioner member after an ill-health pension and a total incapacity pension become payable to D.

(2)

If this regulation applies, the long-term rate of surviving adult pension is 37.5% of the sum of the following amounts—

(a)

the amount of D's accrued earned pension as at the date of D's death; and

(b)

the amount found by multiplying half D's prospective service (in years and fractions of a year) by 1/57th of D's annual rate of pensionable earnings as at the date of D's death.

(3)

In this regulation, “D's prospective service” means the period (in years and fractions of a year) beginning with the day after the date of D's death and ending on the day on which D would have reached prospective normal pension age.
