#### 48AA Restoration of widow’s or widower’s pension previously cancelled on remarriage
(1) A widow or widower whose entitlement to a pension under subsection 46(1) or 47(1) has ceased on his or her remarriage may apply to the Commissioner for:
(a) restoration of the pension; or
(b) restoration of the full rate of the pension.
(2) If the Commissioner is satisfied that the widow or widower’s entitlement to a pension ceased on his or her remarriage, the Commissioner must, in writing, grant the pension at the rate at which the pension would have been payable to the widow or widower if the pension had not ceased.
(3) The pension is payable to the widow or widower at that rate from the day on which the Commissioner receives the application.
