Regulation 6 Payment of long-term pensions instead of short-term pensions

The principal Regulations are amended by inserting after regulation E9 the following:

“Payment of long-term pensions instead of short-term pensions E9A.

(1)

Where, but for this regulation, a children’s short-term pension would be payable to or for the benefit of a child in the care of a parent to whom a widow’s or widower’s short-term pension would be payable (and for this purpose regulation E8(3) shall be disregarded), a children’s long-term pension and a widow’s or widower’s long-term pension shall be payable instead of those pensions if (having regard to regulation E8(3)) that would result in a greater aggregate pension.

(2)

Where, but for this regulation, a children’s short-term pension would be payable to or for the benefit of a child who is not in the care of a parent to whom a widow’s or widower’s short-term pension is payable, a children’s long-term pension shall be payable instead if it would be greater.”.
