84.—(1) Paragraph (2) applies for determining the lump sum payable by virtue of this regulation on the death of a member who—
(a)was an active member [F1or a non-contributing member] otherwise than in service in an employment in respect of which the member had exercised the option under regulation 49 (partial retirement: members aged at least 55), and
(b)was also a pensioner member.
(2) The lump sum is an amount equal to the sum of—
[F2(a)five times the annual rate of pension—
(i)payable under regulation 52(5) (tier 2 ill-health pension), if the deceased had not reached the age of 65,
(ii)payable under regulation 45 (normal retirement pensions), if the deceased had reached the age of 65,
to which the member would have been entitled—
(aa)in the case of a deceased active member, at the member’s date of death, or
(bb)in the case of a deceased non-contributing member, on the last day of the member’s pensionable service; and]
(b)in respect of each pension to which the person has been entitled for less than 5 years, the lesser of—
(i)five times the annual rate of the pension payable after exercising any option under regulation 58 (general option to exchange part of pension for lump sum), less the amount of the pension payments already made to the member, and
(ii)an amount equal to twice the member's reckonable pay by reference to which the pension was calculated, less any lump sum paid to the member when the pension came into payment as a result of the member exercising the option under regulation 58 (general option to exchange part of pension for lump sum).
[F3This is subject to paragraph (4).]
(3) If the pensioner member exercised the option under regulation 62, the reference in paragraph (2)(b) to the amount of the pension payments already made to the member is a reference to the amount of the pension payments that would have been made apart from the election.
[F4(4) In the case of a 2008 Section Optant—
(a)the reference to the annual rate of pension in paragraph (2)(b)(i) is to the annual rate of pension after it has been reduced to take account of the lump sum paid to the Optant under regulation 136L; and
(b)the amount of the Optant’s reckonable pay for the purposes of paragraph (2)(b)(ii) shall be reduced by the aggregate of—
(i)the amount of the lump sum paid to the Optant under regulation 136L, and
(ii)the lump sum under regulation 58 referred to in paragraph (2)(b)(ii).]
