Regulation 4
This regulation shall apply to a widow who is in receipt of an allowance or pension under either of the following provisions of the principal Regulations, namely under—
regulation 4 (supplementary allowance payable to certain widow pensioners), or
regulation 5 (pension payable to certain widows not otherwise entitled to pension),
where the allowance or pension is payable in respect of a period which includes a day in the relevant week and, in this regulation, such an allowance or pension is referred to as a “relevant award”.
Except where a widow to whom this regulation applies is entitled to a payment by virtue of section 66 of and Schedule 6 to the Social Security Act 1986, her relevant award shall be paid, in respect of the year in which the relevant week falls, at such rate as will secure that the amount thereof for that year exceeds by £10 (or such larger sum as may be specified in an order made by the Secretary of State under paragraph 2(3)(b) of Schedule 6 to the Social Security Act 1986 for the purposes of that Schedule) the amount for that year which would have been paid had these Regulations not been made.
