(2)

If the widow, child or other dependant of an entitled officer is entitled to a benefit under the superannuation regulations, or would have been so entitled if the entitled officer's benefits had not been transferred to another scheme, the widow, child or other dependant, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive compensation equal to the benefits she would have received if the compensation payable to an entitled officer under regulation 4 immediately before his death had been a pension to which he was entitled under the superannuation regulations.

Any compensation payable to or for the benefit of a widow, child or other dependant under this regulation shall cease to be payable on the date on which the benefit under the superannuation regulations ceases, or would have ceased, to be payable.

(4)

Where—

(a)

any benefit under the superannuation regulations is payable to any person on behalf of a child or other dependant in accordance with the superannuation regulations, or

(b)

the entitled officer's benefits have been transferred to another scheme and any benefits under the superannuation regulations would have been payable to any such person if those regulations had continued to apply in relation to him,

any compensation payable under this regulation to a child or other dependant shall be paid to that person on behalf of the child or dependant in the like manner and for the like period as is provided in the superannuation regulations.
