Children’s pensions

26.6  If a Member of the CAA Section dies before any benefit has become payable to him from the CAA Section and is survived by one or more Qualifying Children but not by a Spouse (or other beneficiary to whom a pension is payable in accordance with Rule 25.3) the pension described in Rule 25.2 and equal to 1/3rd of the Member’s Relevant Pension in respect of each Qualifying Child (up to a maximum of two) shall become payable out of the CAA Section from the date of the Member’s death and shall be paid or applied by the Trustees as hereinafter described, provided always that:

(a) if the Trustees so direct the amount of pension payable under this Rule 26.6 shall be as described in Rule 26.5 above; and

(b) the Trustees may in their discretion augment any pension payable under this Rule 26.6 by such amount as they determine but not so that the aggregate of any augmentation in respect of the Member under this paragraph (b) and of any pensions payable to Dependants under Rule 26.9 below would exceed the pension which would have been payable under Rule 26.4 above if the Member had been survived by a Spouse.
