  "long_title": "These Regulations further amend the Social Security (Benefit) (Married Women and Widows Special Provisions) Regulations 1974 by inserting in those Regulations two new regulations. The new regulation 3A modifies paragraphs 4(1) and 4A(1) of Schedule 1 to the Social Security Pensions Act 1975, as amended, (increase of retirement pension where a woman's deceased husband had deferred retirement) so as to ensure that a woman does not derive increases of pension from any deceased husband to whom she was married when he died if subsequently, before she reaches pensionable age, she remarries. The new regulation 3B modifies Part I of Schedule 6 to the Social Security Act 1975 in relation to the computation of the weekly rate of earnings-related addition to a widow's allowance to enable certain earnings of the widow's late husband while over pensionable age but not retired to be included in his reckonable weekly earnings under Part I of the Schedule.",
