6.  Where the widow or a child of a reserve member becomes entitled to a widow’s pension or a child’s allowance, as the case may be, under other relevant provision or to a compensation award under the 1950 Regulations equivalent to such pension or allowance, any pension or allowance which would but for this regulation be payable under any of the applied provisions to the widow or the child shall be payable only if, and in respect of such period as, its annual rate exceeds the annual rate of the first-mentioned pension or allowance (or equivalent compensation award) and then only at the annual rate of the excess:

Provided that, if the first-mentioned widow’s pension or equivalent compensation has been so determined that a child’s allowance or equivalent compensation award is not payable, it shall for the purposes of this regulation be deemed to include any child’s ordinary allowance or equivalent compensation award which would otherwise be payable.
