Regulation 8

References in these Regulations to a widow or her husband shall, in their application to a woman being an officer to whom these Regulations apply, be read as references to a widower or his wife, provided that nothing herein shall permit the grant of an annual allowance to a widower, or to children, in the case where the deceased leaves a widower, unless the widower was permanently incapacitated and was dependent upon the deceased at the date of her death.
