# The National Health Service (Injury Benefits) Regulations 1995, Regulation 12: Incidental provisions


(1) For the purposes of this Part of these Regulations, the amount of a pension payable under a relevant pension scheme shall be deemed not to include any amount by which that pension is increased under the Pensions (Increase) Act 1971 after the date at which the average remuneration used in the calculation of the allowance was calculated.
(2) Where the relevant pension scheme is a scheme mentioned in regulation 4(7), the pension payable under such a scheme shall, for the purposes of this Part of these Regulations, be deemed to include such sum, if any, which, in the opinion of the Secretary of State, represents the value, expressed as an annual amount, of the benefits payable under that scheme in respect of the deceased to the person entitled to the allowance.
(3) Where the deceased was a practitioner who received payments under regulation 75 of the 1961 regulations or regulation 79 of the 1980 regulations, there shall, for the purposes of regulations 7 to 9, be deemed to be payable under the relevant pension scheme a pension of such amount, if any, as the Secretary of State thinks fit, but not exceeding the amount of the widow’s or the widower’s pension or the child’s allowance, as the case may be, which would, if the deceased had not been entitled to such payments, have been payable under the pension scheme regulations in respect of the period or periods for which such payments were made to him or her.
(4) Any child who becomes, or children who became, entitled to benefits in respect of more than one deceased shall be entitled to receive only those benefits in respect of that deceased which, in the opinion of the Secretary of State, provide the more favourable result.
