(d) where one member of the married couple dies, nothing which was reckoned for the purposes of pension, or would (if such deceased member had been entitled to receive any pension) have been so reckoned, as means of the deceased member shall be so reckoned as means of the surviving member for the purpose of reducing the pension of the surviving member if any payment in respect of that pension was made before the death of the deceased member or becomes payable in respect of a period previous or part of which was previous to that death.

(2) Where a husband is separated from his wife, any sum paid by him to her under a separation order shall be deducted in calculating his means.

in calculating the means of the person or of the spouse or of both of them for the purposes of Chapter 3 or 4 (as the case may require) of Part III, any portion of the increase of the other pension which, if it were reckoned as means, would result in a reduction in the amount of the pension or combined pensions (as the case may be) which would be greater than the amount of the increase, shall not be reckoned as means.

[1968 MP, s. 13]

5. Notwithstanding this Schedule, the amount of any allowance, special allowance, dependant's allowance, disability pension or wound pension under the Army Pensions Acts, 1923 to 1980, or pension under the Military Service (Pensions) Acts, 1924 to 1964, arising out of service in the period commencing on 23rd April, 1916, and ending on 30th September, 1923, or pension under the Connaught Rangers (Pensions) Acts, 1936 to 1964, shall be disregarded in the calculation of means for the purposes of Chapters 3 and 4 of Part III.
