Surviving partner’s pension payable on death of pensioner member

80.—(1) This regulation applies in relation to the surviving partner of a member (P) who at the date of death is a pensioner member.

(2) A surviving partner to whom this regulation applies is entitled to a surviving partner’s pension.

(3) Subject to regulation 82 (reduction in pensions in cases of wide age disparity), the annual rate of the surviving partner’s pension is equal to half the amount of the annual rate of the retirement pension payable to P immediately before P’s death.

(4) Where an early payment reduction had been made on P’s retirement, the amount in paragraph (2) is half of the amount of retirement pension that would have been payable to P if that reduction had not been made.
