Pensión a favor de padres

Each parent is entitled to 15 per cent of the base rate, or 7.5 per cent in the event that the originator died after having been declared unfit for work whilst on duty or as a result thereof, and where the corresponding special pension had been awarded to them.

Under no circumstances shall either parent of a deceased civil servant be entitled to have the value of their own pension increased by the value of the pension of the other parent who dies or whose pension ceases.

The originator’s mother and father, provided that they were financially dependent on them at the time of their death and that there is no surviving spouse, former spouse, civil partner or children of the deceased entitled to a pension. In the event that, at the time of the originator’s death, there is a spouse, former spouse, civil partner or children of the deceased who are entitled to a pension, the deceased’s mother and father shall only be entitled to the pension from the moment it becomes vacant due to the death or loss of legal capacity of the spouse, former spouse or civil partner and of the children entitled to it.
