PART 6Survivor benefits
CHAPTER 1Adult survivor
Amount of pension: deferred members116
1
Paragraph (2) applies in the case of a deferred member—
a
who left pensionable service less than 12 months before the date of death; and
b
whose surviving adult dependant would have been the member’s surviving adult dependant if the member had died on the member’s last day of pensionable service.
2
The rate of the pension payable to the surviving adult dependant is equal to 33.75% of the member’s notional Tier 2 IHP.
3
In the case of any other deferred member, the rate of pension payable is 33.75% of the amount of pension the member would have received if, at the date of death, the member had become entitled to a pension under regulation 72—
a
disregarding the amount of any additional pension taken into account for the purposes of paragraph 1(d) of Schedule 11; and
b
if the member had made an additional pension election under regulation 54(3)(b) (self and survivor), adding 37.5% of that amount.
4
In paragraph (2), the notional Tier 2 IHP is the amount of pension the member would have received if, on the date the member’s pensionable service ceased, the member had become entitled to a pension under regulation 89(1)(b)—
a
disregarding the amount of any additional pension taken into account for the purposes regulation 91(1)(c); and
b
if the member had made an additional pension election under regulation 54(3)(b) (self and survivor), adding 37.5% of that amount.

In this regulation, “the notional Tier 2 IHP” has the same meaning as in regulation 114(9).
