26.—(1) This regulation applies in relation to a 2006 transition member with continuity of service who dies as a pensioner member of this scheme.

(2) Benefits for surviving spouses, surviving civil partners or other adult dependants are not payable under the 2006 scheme in respect of the member.

(3) The annual rate of a surviving adult’s earned pension is the sum of—

(a)the amount calculated under regulation 138; and

(b)the amount of annual pension which would have been payable under the 2006 scheme to the member’s surviving spouse, surviving civil partner or other adult dependent had those benefits been payable under that scheme in respect of the member.

(4) The amount of pension payable under paragraph (3)(b) is subject to the same conditions, and ceases to be payable in the same circumstances, as is the pension to which the member’s surviving spouse, surviving civil partner or other adult dependent would have been entitled under the 2006 scheme.
