 (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.
