Subject to paragraph (2) of this regulation, compensation under these regulations payable to a person may be paid to his authorised representative or agent for the benefit of that person; but, subject to any statutory provision providing for other payment, not otherwise.

Where a person to whom compensation under these regulations might have been paid has died, any compensation by way of a lump sum which might have been paid to that person before his death, and any compensation by way of a periodic payment relating to a period before his death which might have been paid to him, may be paid to his personal representatives, and his personal representatives may present a claim for any such compensation, and reference to the submission or making of claims by a person shall be construed accordingly.
