(3) The annual rate of a dependant's earned pension is an amount equal to 37.5% of the amount of full retirement earned pension that would have been specified in the member's full retirement account under regulation 48(2) had P become entitled to the immediate payment of a full retirement pension on the date of P's death.
(4) The annual rate of a dependant's added pension is an amount equal to 37.5% of the amount of full retirement added (all beneficiaries) pension that would have been specified in the member's full retirement account under regulation 48(2) had P become entitled to the immediate payment of a full retirement pension on the date of P's death.
(5) When calculating the amount of a member's full retirement earned pension (except in relation to a member who before the member's death was entitled under regulation 63(a) to the immediate payment of a partial retirement pension)—
(a)the accrued earned pension includes an additional amount equal to the lesser of—
(i)the amount of accrued earned pension not attributable to a transfer value payment; and
(ii)the enhancement fraction of the amount mentioned in paragraph (i);
(b)if the member is a transition member with continuity of service, the accrued earned pension includes an additional amount equal to the lesser of—
(i)the total amount of accrued earned pension under this scheme which is not attributable to a transfer value payment and the equivalent of accrued earned pension earned under [F2a relevant] scheme which is not attributable to a transfer value payment; and
(ii)the enhancement fraction of the amount mentioned in paragraph (a)(i); and
(c)the early payment reduction (if any), the commutation amount (if any) and the total allocation amount (if any) are not subtracted.
(6) In this regulation—
“the enhancement fraction” means
X is the lower of—
the member's assumed period of pensionable service (expressed in years); and
10;
Y is the lower of—
the number of years for which the member has been an active member of this scheme; and
the number of scheme years in relation to which an amount of earned pension was specified in the active member's account; and
“the member's assumed period of pensionable service” means the period (expressed in years)—
beginning with the day after the date of the member's death; and
ending with—
for a member appointed for a fixed term, the day on which that term would have ended; and
for all other appointments, the day before the day on which the member would have reached prospective normal pension age if the member had lived until that age.
