the annual rate of the children’s pension is the appropriate fraction of the deceased’s pensionable salary multiplied by A or, where regulation E26(6) applies, B, where–
A is in all cases the length of what would have been the deceased’s family benefit service if regulation E26(4) had applied, and
B is the number of years on which A is calculated increased in like proportion as if it were service to which regulation E26(9) or, as the case may be, regulation E26(10) had applied.

(a) no adult pension becomes payable; or
(b) an adult pension ceases to be payable,
the annual rate of a children’s pension is the applicable fraction of the deceased’s pensionable salary multiplied by C or, where regulation E26(6) applies, C + D, where–
C is the deceased’s effective reckonable service apart from D, and
D is the period which was, or would if regulation E9 (enhancement) had applied have been, the appropriate period within the meaning of regulation E9.
