(b) ceases to be payable when the person to whom it was payable marries, forms a civil partnership or begins to live with someone as if they were husband and wife or as if they were civil partners.

(3) But paragraph (4) does not apply to any long-term adult compensation payable following the death of a person who was in pensionable employment after 31^st March 2007 or who would have been in such employment after that date but for an election under regulation B4 of the Superannuation Regulations.

(4) Short-term or long-term compensation payable to or for the benefit of a child ceases to be payable when he ceases to be a child.

(5) For the purposes of this regulation, two people of the same sex are to be regarded as living together as if they were civil partners if they would be regarded as living together as husband and wife if they were not of the same sex.
