The allowance in question is an increase of widow's pension in respect of an over 18-year-old daughter who qualified as a dependent because she was receiving full-time education by day. In the absence of a certificate from the school the increase in pension was discontinued in June 1980 at the end of the school year. On receipt of a certificate in November 1980 that full-time education had been resumed, the increase was restored with effect from 4 July 1980.
