No. The family pension cannot get to C .family pension in certain cases may be sanctioned to a disabled child/dependent parents/disabled siblings.
the pension payment is now permitted to be credited to a joint account operated by the pensioner with his/her spouse (either by ‘Former or Survivor’ or ‘Either or Survivor’ basis) in whose favour an authorization exists in the Pension Payment Order, subject to certain terms and conditions.Family pension is payable to one member of the family at a time in the order and for the
period as under:

whichever is earlier. Family Pension shall continue to be payable to a childless
widow after her re-marriage if her income from all other sources is less than the

b) When widow or widower becomes ineligible, children below 25 years of age in
the order of their age, up to 25 years of age or till they get married or till they
