Adjustment of supplementary allowances and pensions in relation to noncontributory pensions
6. Where a widow is in receipt of a non-contributory pension under the Old Age Pensions Act 1936, or any similar pension paid out of public funds in Northern Ireland, any of the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man or the Republic of Ireland, the Secretary of State may make such reduction in the amount of any supplementary allowance or pension otherwise payable to her under these Regulations as may be necessary to secure that she shall receive the greatest possible amount in respect of the supplementary allowance or pension, as the case may be, and the non-contributory pension taken together.
