# The Social Security (Child's Special Allowance) Regulations 1975, Note: Explanatory note


The Regulations prescribe the minimum weekly rate at which a former husband must have been contributing before his death to the support of a child, so as to enable a woman, whose marriage has been terminated by divorce, to be entitled to a child's special allowance. The Regulations also provide that for the purposes of the allowance the annulment of a voidable marriage will be treated in the same way as a divorce.
