Regulation 29 Widow's pension
A widow's pension shall not be granted if—
the widow was at the time of the deceased's death cohabiting with a person other than the deceased; or
after the death of the deceased the widow remarries or cohabits with any person,
and if, after the grant of a widow's pension, the widow remarries or cohabits with any person, the pension shall cease as from the date of the remarriage or the commencement of the cohabitation:
Provided that where—
a pension is withheld or ceases under this paragraph; and
the Minister is satisfied at a subsequent date that the marriage or cohabitation has come to an end or that there are compassionate grounds for the payment of the pension notwithstanding the marriage,
the Minister may, if he thinks fit, grant or regrant the pension as from that date.
Subject to the provisions of paragraph (1) of this regulation, a widow's pension shall be paid in respect of the whole period from the death of the deceased to the death of the widow.
In respect of a contributor who has paid normal contributions under regulation 13 the annual rate of a widow's pension shall amount to one-third of the rate of the pension of the deceased.
In respect of a contributor who at the time he becomes a participant in the Scheme elects to have this paragraph applied to him instead of paragraph (3) of this regulation and has paid contributions under regulation 14(2), the annual rate of a widow's pension shall amount to one-half of the rate of the pension of the deceased.
