111J Payment of pension to widow of pensioner who died or dies on or after 1 July 1979

(1) Where a pensioner died or dies on or after 1 July 1979, pension is payable to his widow with effect from such date, at such rate, and subject to such conditions, as the Commissioner, by instrument in writing, determines. (1A) However, subregulation (1) does not apply to an associate pension under Part IX that a deceased pensioner was receiving at the time of his or her death. (2) The date determined by the Commissioner shall not, unless special circumstances exist that justify an earlier date, be a date earlier than the date of the direction.
