25.—(1) Where children’s compensation is payable to, or for the benefit of, the same children to whom, or for whose benefit, children’s pensions are payable under regulation 47 (discretions as to payment of children’s pensions) of the Pension Regulations, the compensation shall be paid to the same person and, if applicable, in the same proportions as the pension is paid under that regulation.

(a)a relevant disqualification with respect to the deceased; or
(b)the transfer of benefits to another pension scheme,
the employing authority shall decide to whom the children’s compensation is paid and, if applicable, how it is to be apportioned amongst the eligible children.
