35.—(1) If a pensioner member dies before his 75th birthday, a death grant is payable.
(2) The Committee at its absolute discretion may make payments in respect of the death grant to or for the benefit of the member’s nominee or personal representatives, or any person appearing to the Committee to have been his relative or dependant at any time.
(3) The death grant is his pension in payment multiplied by 10, but the amount so calculated is reduced by the amounts of any retirement pension paid to him and ignoring any reduction due to abatement under regulation 66 (statements of policy concerning abatement of retirement pensions in new employment) of the Administration Regulations.
(4) If the Committee has not made payments under paragraph (1) equalling in aggregate the member’s death grant before the expiry of 2 years—
(a)beginning with his death; or
(b)beginning with the date on which the Committee could reasonably be expected to have become aware of the member’s death,
it must pay an amount equal to the shortfall to the member’s personal representatives.
