In principle, the retirement pension does not decrease, because when an heir becomes ineligible for his/her share in pension, the pension is distributed again, unless, for example, the only beneficiary is a widow who has died, or one child and died, then the right to the pension ends.
Pension increases when, for instance, a girl is married at a time when her father or mother pass away, therefore, she is not entitled for a pension. However, if she, after a long or short period of time is divorced after the death incident, her pension share becomes renewed from GPSSA treasury, without reducing any other beneficiary shares in the pension.
This applies in case of a divorce or widowhood of the daughter, sister, and mother, or if the son or brother becomes unable to earn after the death of the pensioner, provided that none of those individuals has a salary or pension.
