Eligibility

When an officer or non-commissioned member of the Regular Force or of the Reserve Force on Class B or C Reserve Service dies or is presumed to have died, an amount equal to the value of the unused earned leave to which the member had an entitlement at the time of death or presumed death shall be paid to the service estate.
