68 Annual rate of adult dependants’ pensions payable on death of pensioner member

(1) This regulation deals with the annual rate of the pensions payable under regulation 65 or 67 (surviving spouses’ and civil partners’ pensions and other adult dependants’ pensions) on the death of a pensioner member. (2) The annual rate of the dependant’s earned pension is determined by taking an amount equal to 62.5% of the annual rate of the member’s retirement earned pension at the point of the member’s death after— (a) subtracting the commutation amount (if any) specified in the account in relation to that amount; (b) subtracting the pension sharing order amount (if any) specified in the account in relation to that amount; and (c) disregarding— (i) the early payment reduction (if any) specified in the account in relation to that amount; (ii) the in service late payment supplement (if any) specified in the account in relation to that amount; (iii) the late payment supplement (if any) specified in the account in relation to the amount; and (iv) the allocation amount (if any) specified in the account in relation to that amount. (3) Where a member was entitled to immediate payment of a retirement club transfer pension as at the date of death or would have become entitled to such a pension had the member not died, instead of the determination under paragraph (2) a determination shall be made after taking the actions specified in sub paragraphs (a) to (c) by taking an amount equal to 62.5% of the aggregate of the annual rate of the member’s retirement earned pension and retirement club transfer pension. (4) The annual rate of the dependant’s added pension is found by taking an amount equal to 62.5% of the annual rate of the member’s retirement added pension (members and dependants) at the point of the member’s death after— (a) subtracting the commutation amount (if any) specified in the account in relation to that amount; (b) subtracting the pension sharing order amount (if any) specified in the account in relation to that amount; and (c) disregarding— (i) the early payment reduction (if any) specified in the account in relation to that amount; (ii) the in service late payment supplement (if any) specified in the account in relation to that amount; (iii) the late payment supplement (if any) specified in the account in relation to that amount; and (iv) the allocation amount (if any) specified in the account in relation to that amount.

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.
