Where a death grant is not payable by virtue of section 32(1) of the Act in respect of the death of any person who either—
(a) was a child either at his death or at any time during the tax year in which he died or the preceding tax year; or
(b) was at his death over the age of 16 and under the age of 19 and was then incapacitated by reason of illness or disability of mind or body for a prolonged period for regular employment;
