35.—(1) If a pensioner member dies before the member’s 75th birthday, a death grant is payable.

(2) The administering authority at its discretion may make payments in respect of the death grant to or for the benefit of the member’s nominee or executors, or any person appearing to the authority to have been the member’s relative or dependant at any time.

(3) The death grant is the member’s pension in payment multiplied by 10, but the amount so calculated is reduced by the amounts of any retirement pension paid to the member.
