Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

In respect of the death of any person occurring on or after 6th April 1975, where the qualifying contributor is, or was, a person who was insured under the National Insurance Act 1965, the contribution condition for a death grant specified in paragraph 7(1) of Schedule 3 to the Act shall be deemed to be satisfied if such contributor has paid or been credited with not less than 25 contributions of any class under the said Act—

(a)

between his entry into insurance under that Act and 6th April 1975; or

(b)

if he attained pensionable age before that date, between his entry into insurance under the said Act and the date upon which he attained that age;

so however that any contributions which would have been taken into account for the purposes of a death grant under that Act, had the death occurred immediately before 6th April 1975, shall be taken into account for the purposes of this regulation.
