Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Rule (including any effects on those provisions):
108.—(1) A surviving partner's pension or eligible child's pension is payable from the day after the date of the member's death.
(2) An eligible child's pension payable in respect of an eligible child aged under 18 must be paid to such other person as the scheme manager determines and the scheme manager must require the person to apply it for the eligible child's benefit in accordance with the scheme manager's directions.
109.—(1) This regulation applies if—
(a)on a member's death a pension has been awarded and paid under this Part; and
(b)it later appears to the scheme manager that the member or the person to whom the pension has been paid made a false declaration or deliberately suppressed a material fact in connection with the award.
(2) The scheme manager may—
(a)cease paying the pension; and
(b)recover any payment made under the award.
(3) Paragraph (2) does not affect the scheme manager's right to recover a payment or overpayment under any other provision where the scheme manager considers it appropriate to do so.
110.—(1) This regulation applies where after the death of an active member, deferred member or pensioner member—
(a)a pension is paid in respect of one or more persons under this Part on the basis that they were eligible children as at the date of the member's death and that there were then no other eligible children; and
(b)subsequently it appears—
(i)that a person in respect of whom such a pension has been paid was not an eligible child on the date of death;
(ii)that a further person was an eligible child; or
(iii)that a child who was born after the member's death is an eligible child.
(2) The scheme manager may make such adjustments in the amount of the pensions payable in respect of the children in question as are required in view of the facts as they subsequently appear and these adjustments may apply retrospectively.
(3) Paragraph (2) does not affect the scheme manager's right to recover a payment or overpayment in any case where the scheme manager considers it appropriate to do so.
111.—(1) This regulation applies where a person (P) who would be eligible to receive benefits as a surviving partner or eligible child following the death of an active member, deferred member or pensioner member, has been convicted of the murder or manslaughter of that member and that conviction has subsequently been quashed on appeal.
(2) If P is then eligible to receive a surviving partner's pension, any increase in an eligible child's pension under regulation 98 (increase in eligible child's pension where there is no surviving partner) ceases to be payable from the date on which the conviction is quashed.
(3) If P is then eligible to receive an eligible child's pension, and if more than one person is receiving an eligible child's pension on the day before the conviction is quashed, the amount of each eligible child's pension is reduced from the date on which the conviction is quashed to an amount of the eligible child's pension determined according to the specified proportion which would have applied to that number of eligible children.
112.—(1) This regulation applies if—
(a)a member dies after reaching the age of 75; and
(b)apart from this regulation, any part of a pension to which any person becomes entitled under this Part on the death would not qualify as a dependants' scheme pension for the purposes of section 167 of the 2004 Act (the pension death benefit rules).
(2) The benefit payable to the person may be adjusted in such manner as is determined by the scheme manager so that it qualifies as a dependants' scheme pension for the purposes of section 167 of the 2004 Act.
