7.9.3 Periodic Payments payable to dependent eligible young persons

If an eligible young person who was wholly or mainly dependent on a deceased member immediately before death applies for compensation, s/he is entitled to a weekly compensation payment (payable from the date of the member's death) while still an eligible young person.

For a dependant born after the death of the member, the weekly payment is only payable from the week in which the young person is born.

An eligible young person who was only partly dependent on the member before death is not entitled to the weekly payment.
