(2) The increased amount of the pension payable to the serviceman for any period shall not, when aggregated with the amount of any armed forces award which is also payable to or in respect of him for that period, exceed the amount of the award which would have been payable for that period if the injury as a result of which he is permanently disabled had been treated as if it were an injury received without his own default in the execution of his duty as a regular policeman.

(3) The reference in the preceding sub-paragraph to an armed forces award shall not include an allowance for constant attendance, wear and tear of clothing or comforts.

2.—(1) This paragraph shall apply where a pension payable to the widow of a serviceman in pursuance of paragraph (1) or (3) of Regulation I3 is increased in pursuance of paragraph (5) of that Regulation.

(2) The increased amount of the pension payable to the widow for any period shall not, when aggregated with the amount of any armed forces award which is also so payable for that period in respect of her husband, exceed the amount of the pension which would have been payable for that period if the injury as a result of which her husband had died had been treated as if it were an injury received without his own default in the execution of his duty as a regular policeman.

3.—(1) This paragraph shall apply when an allowance payable to the child of a serviceman in pursuance of paragraph (4) of Regulation I3 is increased in pursuance of paragraph (5) of that Regulation.

(2) The increased amount of the allowance payable to the child for any period shall not, when aggregated with the amount of any armed forces award payable to or for the child for that period in respect of the serviceman, exceed the amount of the allowance which would have been payable for that period if the injury as a result of which he had died had been treated as if it were an injury received without his own default in the execution of his duty as a regular policeman.

4.—(1) In this Schedule a reference to an armed forces award is a reference to an armed forces pension or other award payable in pursuance of a Royal Warrant or other instrument.

(2) Where such an armed forces award as mentioned in paragraph 1(2), 2(2) or 3(2) is a gratuity, the amount thereof payable for any period shall, for the purposes of the provision in question, be deemed to be the amount which would have been payable for that period in respect of such an annuity as is hereinafter mentioned if, at the date on which the gratuity became payable, it had been applied in the purchase of such an annuity.

• The annuity referred to in this sub-paragraph is an immediate life annuity, dependent on the life of the serviceman, the widow or, as the case may be, the child concerned, granted under Part I of the Government Annuities Act 1929(1).
