2.E.13.—(1) This regulation applies for determining the annual amount of the pension payable under regulation 2.E.8(1) (surviving dependent child’s pension) if at the date of death the deceased was a recent leaver (within the meaning of regulation 2.E.6(3) (recent leavers)).
(2) That amount is the appropriate fraction of the basic death pension.
(3) In this regulation—
“the basic death pension” means 75% of the pension to which the deceased would have been entitled if the deceased had become entitled to—
a pension under regulation 2.D.8(5) (early retirement on ill health: active members and non-contributing members) on the date of death; or
if greater, the amount that the member’s pension would have been if it had been based on 10 years’ pensionable service (disregarding any additional pension); and
“the appropriate fraction” means—
if there is a surviving parent of the dependent child or children or a surviving spouse or civil partner of a parent of the dependent child or children and a surviving adult’s pension is payable—
one-quarter if there is only one dependent child; and
one-half if there are two or more dependent children; and
otherwise—
one-third if there is only one dependent child; and
two-thirds if there are two or more dependent children.
