Paragraph 10 Pension for child where no survivor’s pension paid

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

Where—

(a)

no person is entitled to a pension under rule 1 as a survivor of the deceased, and

(b)

a child of the deceased is eligible for a child pension under rule 6,

the authority must pay to the child, for so long as the child is an eligible child, the amount that would have been paid by way of survivor’s pension under rule 2 of this Part if, in paragraph (1) of that rule, the words “Subject to rule 3”had been omitted.

(2)

Where there is more than one eligible child, the amount referred to in paragraph (1) must be divided equally between the eligible children; but—

(a)

the authority must cease to pay a child’s share as soon as that child’s child pension ceases to be payable; and

(b)

the authority must distribute the share to which the child would otherwise have been entitled equally among the remaining eligible children.
