widower of a deceased member of the Forces or member of a Peacekeeping Force, the Commonwealth is not liable to pay another pension to the person under this Part as the widow or widower of another deceased member of the Forces or member of a Peacekeeping Force or under Part II as the widow or widower of a deceased veteran.
 (13) Where a person who is in receipt of, or is eligible to receive, a pension under this Part as the child of a deceased person, being a member of the Forces or a member of a Peacekeeping Force, would, but for this subsection, become eligible to receive a pension under this Part or Part II as the child of another deceased person, being a member of the Forces, a member of a Peacekeeping Force or a veteran, the Commonwealth is liable to pay a pension to the person under this Part or Part II as the child of only one of those deceased persons, and, if the rate at which that pension would be payable as the child of one of those deceased persons (in this subsection referred to as the relevant deceased person) is higher than the rate at which that pension would be payable as the child of the other of those deceased persons, then:
 (a) if the relevant deceased person is a member of the Forces or a member of a Peacekeeping Force—the Commonwealth is liable to pay a pension to the person under this Part as the child of the relevant deceased person; or
 (b) in any other case—the Commonwealth is not liable to pay a pension to the person under this Part.
