As published

78 Surviving partner’s pension payable on death of active member

(1) This regulation applies in relation to the surviving partner of a member who dies if, at the date of death, the member is an active member and has qualifying service of at least three months. (2) A surviving partner to whom this regulation applies is entitled to a surviving partner’s pension. (3) Subject to paragraph (4) and regulation 82 (reduction of pensions in cases of wide age disparity), the annual rate of the surviving partner’s pension is an amount equal to half the pension which the member would have been entitled to draw if the member had retired on the grounds of ill-health with the award of a higher tier ill-health pension on the date of the member’s death. (4) Where the member referred to in paragraph (1) was a transition member who had additional pension benefit under rule 7A or 7B of Part 3 of the NFPS or additional pension benefit under rule B5B or B5C of the 1992 Scheme, half the amount of additional pension benefit is added to the amount of the annual rate of the surviving partner’s pension referred to in paragraph (3).

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
