  If his income is low – he will continue to receive a survivors grant.
  If his income increased in the future, his income increased, he would lose his eligibility for a survivors pension and receive a survivors grant.
  If his income decreased in the future, his eligibility for a survivors pension would be renewed, and the grant paid to him deducted at 100% from the survivors grant due to him.

• To a widower who did not have a child at the time of his wife's death and who received a survivors’ pension due to his low income, but later his income increased above the threshold, his entitlement to the survivors’ pension will end and a survivors’ grant will be paid to him.
