Lump sum on member’s death in pensionable employment or after pension becomes payable
17.—(1) In the case of members who die in pensionable employment as practitioners, regulation F1 (lump sum payable on member’s death in pensionable employment) is modified so that, in relation to the member’s employment as a practitioner, the reference to final year’s pensionable pay in regulation F1(4) is treated as a reference to—
(a)in the case of a member who is required to pay contributions under regulation D1(27), the yearly average of the member’s uprated earnings at the date of death; or
(b)in the case of a member who is no longer required to pay contributions under regulation D1(27), the yearly average of the member’s uprated earnings on the member’s last day of pensionable service.
(2) In the case of members who die after a pension under this Section of the scheme in respect of practitioner service becomes payable, regulation 2 (lump sum payable on member’s death after pension becomes available) is modified so that, in relation to the member’s employment as a practitioner, the reference to final year’s pensionable pay in regulation F2(2) is treated as a reference to the yearly average of the member’s uprated earnings on the member’s last day of pensionable service.
