Lump Sum
5B The lump sum shall be:
(1) the lesser of (a) 4 times Final Average Pay and (b) 5 times each of the following but ignoring any increases paid under Rule 10A (General) and any lump sum payable from the policy proceeds under Appendix 9 of the BR Rules:
(i)the aggregate of the Basic Pension and any pension payable under Rule 8B (Additional Pension);
and
(ii)where the pension is in payment, any extra pension secured by any funds transferred to the Section under Appendix 9 of the BR Rules
multiplied by the Normal Pension (excluding any amount payable under Rules 10B, 10C or 10D) on the date of death divided by the Basic Pension;
less
(2) the aggregate of all lump sums and pension payments (if any) made to the Member.
For a Member receiving benefits under rule 16 of the BR Rules who has not yet attained Minimum Pension Age the lump sum shall be equal to (1) 4 times Final Average Pay multiplied by (2) the Normal Pension on the date of death divided by (3) the Basic Pension less (4) the aggregate of all lump sums and pension payments made to the Member since retirement.
If the Member was a Part–time Employee at the date of retirement, then the sum equal to 4 times Final Average Pay shall be multiplied by the proportion which the number of hours per week that the Member was contracted on the date of retirement to work bears to the number of hours per week that the Member would have been contracted on the date of retirement to work had he or she been employed full–time.
If however a lump sum is payable from this or another Section of the Scheme or from some other pension scheme, including a scheme to which a Member belonged before joining the Scheme, the lump sum payable under this Rule shall not when (where appropriate) aggregated with such lump sum exceed the maximum amount allowed by the Inland Revenue.
