(1)

Where, in respect of any week, a pension is payable to the widow in pursuance of section 67 of the Social Security Act 1975f1 in consequence of her husband’s death and the amount of that pension exceeds that of a widow’s pension under section 26 of that Act as specified in Part I of Schedule 4 thereto at the time of the husband’s death, then the amount of her special pension in respect of that week shall be reduced by that excess.

(2)

Where the provisions governing the amount of pensions under section 67 of the Social Security Act 1975 have changed after the death of the husband, the reduction under sub-paragraph (1) in respect of any week shall not exceed the amount which would have been the amount thereof in respect of that week had those provisions not changed.
