ARTICLE 27 Orphan’s Benefit under the Legislation of the United Kingdom and Guernsey

(1) In this Article “Party” means the United Kingdom or Guernsey, as the case may be.

(2) For the purpose of any claim for orphan’s benefit under the legislation of the United Kingdom any period of presence in the territory of Guernsey shall be treated as if it were a period of presence in the territory of the United Kingdom.

(3) For the purpose of any claim for orphan’s benefit under the legislation of Guernsey a person who has completed an insurance period under the legislation of the United Kingdom shall be treated as an insured person under the legislation of Guernsey.

(4) Where orphan’s benefit would be payable to a person under the legislation of one Party if that person, or the orphan for whom the benefit is claimed, were ordinarily resident in the territory of that Party, it shall be paid while that person, or the orphan, is in the territory of the other Party as if he were in the territory of the former Party.

(5) Where, but for this paragraph, a person would be entitled to receive orphan’s benefit under the legislation of both Parties in respect of the same orphan, whether by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise, he shall be entitled to receive benefit only under the legislation of the Party in whose territory the orphan is ordinarily resident.
