Enhancement of child pension
152
1
This regulation applies if a member (D)—
a
dies in service; or
b
dies as a pensioner member after an ill-health pension and a total incapacity pension become payable to D.
2
If this regulation applies, the long-term rate of child pension is—
(R × S)/(E C)
where—
R is—
1. 37.5%, if a surviving adult pension is payable;
2. 50%, if a surviving adult pension is not payable or has ceased to be payable;
S is the sum of the following amounts—
1. the amount of D's accrued earned pension as at the date of D's death; and
2. the amount found by multiplying half D's prospective service (in years and fractions of a year) by 1/57th of D's annual rate of pensionable earnings as at the date of D's death;
EC is the number of D's eligible children.
“D's prospective service” means the period (in years and fractions of a year) beginning with the day after the date of D's death and ending on the day on which D would have reached prospective normal pension age.
