(a) who, having retired with an ordinary, short service or ill-health pension, dies or has died while in receipt of that pension;

(b) who, having retired with both an ill-health and an injury pension, dies or has died otherwise than while in receipt of the ill-health pension but while in receipt of the injury pension;
