(b)the amount of the children's pensions otherwise payable under this Part.

(2) At any time when the rate is not the rate mentioned in paragraph (1), the rate of the surviving adult dependant's pension in the case of the death of a pensioner member is equal to 37.5% of the pension to which the member was entitled on the date of death (disregarding any additional pension).

[F1(3) For the purposes of paragraph (1) any reduction in the rate of the member’s pension under—

(a)Chapter 8 of this Part;

(4) In this regulation “the initial period” means—

(a)is in further HSC employment and dies before the end of the initial period (within the meaning of regulation 112(6)(c) and in accordance with regulation 112(2)), or
