Regulation 51 of the War Financial (Military Forces) Regulations is amended by inserting, after sub-regulation (2.), the following sub-regulations:—

(2a.) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-regulation (2.) of this regulation, if a prescribed authority is satisfied that a person to whom or for whose benefit an allotment in relation to which no dependants allowance is payable was made was to some extent dependent upon the member or that hardship would be caused by the cessation of payment of the allotment, he may authorize the payment of a sum equal to the allotment from the date of the death of the member until the expiration of one month from the date of notification to the Repatriation Commission of the death of the member, and any sum so paid shall not be set off against the moneys due to the member at the time of his death.

(2b.) Where the death of a member has been notified to the Repatriation Commission and the Commission has not determined the pension entitlement or otherwise of any dependant of the deceased member within one month after the date of such notification, the Minister may authorize a periodical payment to any such dependant who has been in receipt of payments under sub-regulation (1.) or sub-regulation (2a.) of this regulation for such period, or periods, and at such rates, as he considers reasonable..
