Part 1: Public Service Pension Schemes Chapter 2: Judicial Schemes Section 48: Benefits for children where election made
In some cases, there may be a conflict between the interests of potential beneficiaries because of the different entitlements under the legacy and 2015 reformed schemes.
	In the case where an adult beneficiary and a child beneficiary reside in separate households this section provides that the child is entitled to receive the more favourable pension, looked at in the round, regardless of the choice made by the surviving adult.
