     (b) if the person does not leave a widow or widower, or the widow or widower dies within the period referred to in the last preceding

    paragraph without making such an election, but the person leaves an eligible child or eligible children—such an election may be made within that period by such person as the Board permits,
and, in that case, the Superannuation Act 1922–1971 has effect as if the election had been made by the first-mentioned person but sub-section (4.) of section 119u of that Act does not apply.

     (b) a pension or benefit that was paid to that person under the Social Services Act 1947–1971 or the Commonwealth Employees' Compensation Act 1930–1971 in respect of that period would not have been paid, or the amount of that pension or benefit would have been reduced, if the person had been entitled to receive the pension referred to in the last preceding paragraph during the period in respect of which it is payable,
the amount of the pension referred to in paragraph (a) of this sub-section shall be reduced by the amount of the pension or benefit referred to in paragraph (b) of this sub-section or by the amount by which that last-mentioned pension or benefit would have been so reduced, as the case may be.
(2.) Any reduction that is required by the last preceding sub-section to be made in a pension referred to in paragraph (a) of that sub-section shall be made first from the part of that pension that would, but for this section, be payable by the Commonwealth.
