204.—(1) This regulation applies for determining the annual amount of the pension payable under regulation 201(1) (surviving children's pensions) if at the date of death the deceased was a pensioner member of [F1this Section of] the Scheme who was not also an active member [F2or a non-contributing member] .
(2) Subject to paragraphs (5), (6) and (7) that amount is the appropriate fraction of the basic death pension.
(3) In this regulation “the basic death pension” means the greater of—
(a)twice the appropriate proportion of the deceased's annual pension (disregarding any additional pension), and
(b)twice the appropriate proportion of the annual pension to which the deceased would have been entitled if the deceased had been entitled to count 10 years' pensionable service (disregarding any additional pension).
[F3In the case of a 2008 Section Optant, this is subject to regulation 260W [F4and in the case of a Waiting Period Joiner, this is subject to regulation 260ZB].]
(4) In this regulation “the appropriate fraction” means—
(a)if there is a surviving parent of the dependent child or children or a surviving spouse or civil partner of a parent of the dependent child or children and a surviving adult dependant's pension is payable under regulation 194—
(i)one-quarter if there is only one dependent child, and
(ii)one-half if there are two or more dependent children,
(b)if there is such a parent or spouse or partner of a parent, but no surviving adult dependant's pension is payable under regulation 194—
(i)one-third if there is only one dependent child, and
(ii)two-thirds if there are two or more dependent children,
(c)if there is no such parent or spouse or partner of a parent—
(i)one-third if there is only one dependent child, and
(ii)two-thirds if there are two or more dependent children.
(5) If—
(a)a surviving adult dependant's pension is payable under regulation 194, and
(b)there is a dependent child who is not dependent on the person entitled to that pension,
the rate of the pension in respect of that child for the first 3 months after the deceased's death is equal to the rate of the member's pension at the date of death (disregarding any additional pension).
[F5(6) In a case within paragraph (4)(b) or (c), the rate of the pension in respect of the dependent child or children for the period of 6 months beginning with the deceased’s death is equal to the greater of—
(a)the rate of the member’s pension at the date of death disregarding any reduction made under Chapter 8 (Abatement) and any additional pension, and
(b)the amount of children’s pension that would otherwise be payable under these Regulations.]
(7) If the deceased member's pension was payable under regulation 179 (early payment of pensions with actuarial reduction), the reference in paragraph (3)(a) and (b) to the member's pension is a reference to the amount that the member's pension would have been if it had been calculated without the reduction mentioned in paragraph (2)(b) of that regulation.
[F6(8) For the purposes of paragraphs (3), (5) and (6), any reduction in the member’s pension under regulation 185 and regulation 260K will be ignored.]
