Division of family pension between eligible heirs

202. (a) If the recipient of a family pension refuses to contribute
proportionately towards the support of other eligible heirs (see clause (c) below)
in the family who were dependent upon the deceased airman, or if the pension is
in the name of a child but is not devoted to the interests of the family generally,
the competent authority may, on the advice and recommendations of the deputy
commissioner or collector of the district, divide, at its discretion, the family
pension among the eligible heirs of the deceased airman.

(b) This division shall hold good only for the period during which the
pension is payable to the original recipient under the regulations governing its
grant.

If during this period one of the parties to the division (other than the
original recipient) is disqualified or dies, his or her share shall be restored to the
original recipient if he or she is the only one living or shall be divided among the
remaining recipients if there are more than one.
(c) Children’s allowance is intended for the maintenance of children
and the fact that an adult recipient of a special family pension refuses to
contribute towards the children’s support shall not ordinarily justify the pension
being divided. Special cases of hardship will be submitted for orders of the
competent authority.

Transfer of family pension

203. When for any cause a family pension ceases to be payable to an
heir other than the widow, it shall be transferred to the widow provided she is not
disqualified under regulation 195.

Except as provided for in this regulation and regulation 196 (a) (iv), a
family pension cannot be transferred and shall cease altogether on the death or
disqualification of the original recipient.

Continuance of special family pension

204. (a) The whole or a portion of special family pension which ceased on
the death or disqualification of the previous recipient may be continued to the
