41.—(1) If a deferred member dies before attaining the age of 75, the appropriate administering authority shall pay a death grant.
(2) The administering authority may, at its absolute discretion, pay the death grant to or for the benefit of the member’s nominee, personal representatives or any person appearing to the authority to have been a relative or dependent of the member.
(3) The death grant is the amount the member would have been entitled to receive as retirement pension annually if—
(a)the member had been able to draw a pension on the day the member died; and
(b)the pension the member would have been able to draw on that date had not been subject to any restriction on the age at which it could be drawn, or actuarial adjustment relating to the age at which it was drawn,
multiplied by 5.
(4) This regulation applies to pension credit members (including persons entitled to a pension credit who die before the appropriate administering authority awards a pension credit) as it applies to deferred members with the modification that for the amount of death grant calculated under paragraph (3), the amount calculated under paragraph (3)(a) and (b) is multiplied by 5.
