(2) The father shall not be' eligible if at the time of the qualifying
injury he is below the age of 50, unless he is physically or mentally unable
to support himself, but he becomes eligible on attaining the age of 50.
(3) The mother shall not be eligible if at the time of the qualifying
injury the father of the deceased is still alive, but shall become eligible
on his death for so long as she remains unmarried. If she is a widow
at the time of the qualifying injury she shall continue to be eligible only
so long as she remains unmarried. If at the time of the qualifying
injury she was already remarried to a husband other than the father of
the deceased she shall be eligible and shall continue to be eligible if
thereafter widowed for so long as she remains unmarried.
(4) A son shall not be eligible if he is above the age of 15 unless he
is physically or mentally unable to support himself.
(r5) A daughter shall not be eligible, if she has a husband living, or
marries.
22. (1) "Where there are surviving eligible members of more than one
of the classes specified in the list in clause 20, the family pension shall
be payable to the member specified earliest in that list, of two or more
widows the longest married taking precedence, and of two or more children
the eldest taking precedence.
(<?) Where there is no widow surviving and the family pension has not
been made payable to the father of the deceased solely because the father
had not yet reached the age of fifty, it shall unless it has under the
provisions of sub-clause (3) of this clause ceased to be payable, be made
payable to him on his attaining the age of fifty, subject to the sub-clause
next following.
(3) When the member to whom the family pension is payable under
the foregoing provisions of this clause dies or ceases to be eligible, then,
whether there are other eligible members surviving or not. the family
pension shall cease altogether to be payable except as provided in clause 25.
(4) No claim to receive a family pension shall be entertained if made by
a member who has, by the time the claim is preferred, already ceased
to be eligible.
23. A family pension when awarded shall become payable as from the
day following that on which the qualifying injury causing the death was
sustained:
Provided that where the family member, to whom the pension would
have been payable on that day, has, before the Claims Officer has made
the award, died or ceased to be eligible and the pension has consequently
become payable to another member, the pension shall be payable to the
last mentioned member as from the day following that on which ihe first
mentioned member died or ceased to be eligible, and the arrears from
the day following that on which the qualifying injury occurred up to the
day on which the first mentioned member died or ceased to be eligible
shall, subject to the provisions governing the payment of belated claims,
be paid to the first mentioned member or his estate:
Provided further that if, before the Claims Officer has made the award,
all the members who were eligible on the day following that on which
the qualifying injury occurred have died or ceased to be eligible, the
Claims Officer shall have full power to dispose of any arrears as he may
think fit.
24. (f) If the Claims Officer is satisfied, on application made to him,
that the member to whom a family pension is payable refuses to contri
bute reasonably to the support of the other eligible members of the family
or that a family pension payable to a child is not being utilised for the
benefit of the other eligible member of the family, he may divide the
pension at his discretion among all the eligible members and make it
payable as so divided to each member individually.
(2) Any such division shall not affect the provisions contained in sub
clause (3) of clause 22 but, so long as the member to whom the pension
is originally awarded continues to be alive and eligible, if any member
receiving one of the divided portions of the pension dies or ceases to be
eligible, his share shall be added to the amount distributable to the member
or members still surviving and eligible.
(3) A division under this clause shall not ordinarily be made at the
instance of children in receipt of children’s allowances, but the Claims
Officer may even in such a case at his discretion make a division of the
family pension to avert special hardship.
