144.—(1) The short-term rate of additional (surviving adult) pension—
(a)applies if a member (D) dies in service or dies as a pensioner member; and
(b)is payable for the first 3 months after D’s death.

(b)if D dies as a pensioner member—
(i)where a phased retirement pension became payable before D’s death, it is the annual rate of additional (self only) pension which would have been payable as at D’s death if D had applied under regulation 91 to receive additional pension with the phased retirement earned pension; and
(ii)where a retirement pension other than a phased retirement pension became payable before D’s death, it is the annual rate of additional (self only) pension payable as at D’s death.
