3.—(1) The Police (Injury Benefit) Regulations 1987(6) shall apply, subject to the necessary modifications, in relation to—
(a)a person who—
(i)receives or received an injury without his own default and in the execution of his duty, whether before, on or after 25th November 1982; and

(iii)within 12 months of so receiving that injury, dies or has died as a result thereof;
as they apply in the case of a person such as is mentioned in regulation 4(1) or, as the case may be, regulation 5(1) of those Regulations.
(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1) any references in the Police (Injury Benefit) Regulations 1987(7) to any of the provisions of the Police Pensions Regulations 1973(8) or, as the case may be, the Police Pensions Regulations 1987(9) shall include references to those provisions as applied in relation to police cadets by the principal Regulations.
