# Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992, Paragraph 20


(1) If a person dies at a time when—
(a) he is entitled to an increase under section 104 above of a disablement pension and the amount of the increase is not less than the amount which at that time is specified in Schedule 4, Part V, paragraph 2(a); or
(b) he would have been so entitled but for having received medical or other treatment as an in-patient in a hospital or similar institution,
he is to be regarded for the purposes of entitlement to industrial death benefit as having died as a result of the injury in respect of which the disablement pension was payable.
(2) The reference in sub-paragraph (1) above to an increase under section 104 above includes only a payment by way of increase of a disablement pension, and in particular does not include any payment for constant attendance under paragraph 7(2)(b) of Schedule 8 to this Act.
(3) Sub-paragraph (1) above does not affect death benefit where the death occurred before 26th July 1971.
