These Regulations make provision for enhanced benefits in case of death or total disablement resulting from an injury received by a member of a police force in the execution of his duty. The benefit is in the form of a gratuity payable, in the case of death, to the widow, child or dependent relative of the member and, in the case of disablement, to the member himself. The gratuity is to be abated by the amount of any gratuity under Regulation 20, 21, 22, 28, 39 or 43, as the case may be, of the Police Pensions Regulations 1973 (the principal Regulations) and by the amount of any damages or compensation recovered in respect of the death or disability in question.
