In this situation, there is also no reduction in the reversionary pension payable to any eligible child or partially dependent child born of the marital or couple relationship.
 Similarly, there is no reduction in the reversionary pension payable to an eligible child or partially dependent child if the child was adopted by the deceased pensioner while the pensioner was still a member of the PSS, or before the pensioner reached age 60.
