If no survivor pension is payable to a surviving spouse, the Member’s first dependent child gives entitlement to a survivor pension equal to 15% of the Member’s basic salary and the Member’s other dependent children, to a survivor pension equal to 10%. The total annual pension may not initially exceed 55% of the Member’s basic salary at the time of death and is apportioned among the dependent children in equal shares.
