Survivor benefits: deferred members

33.—(1) If a deferred member dies leaving a surviving spouse, nominated cohabiting partner or civil partner, that person is entitled to a pension payable from the day following the date of death.

(2) The pension is calculated by multiplying his total membership by his final pay and dividing by 160.

(3) If there is more than one surviving spouse, they become jointly entitled in equal shares under paragraph (1).
