The above award is subject to the conditions of the Royal Warrant or corresponding Authority governing grants in respect of death by service in war. Adjustments may be necessary if pension or children's allowance has been awarded to you under the Widows', Orphans' and Old Age Contributory Pensions Acts, as such payment is not admissible together with an award of widow's pension or children's allowance by this Ministry.
