Pension Act

Based on the provided text, here is a rewritten version in a neutral tone, focusing on the content:

Definitions and Interpretation

• A British subject who served in the naval, army or air forces of His Majesty during World War II shall be deemed to be a member of the forces for the purposes of section 21.
• A couple shall be deemed to be living together if it is established that they were not living together due to injury or disease, temporary circumstances, or other factors not attributable to them.
• If a member of the forces receives medical assistance in dying, they shall be deemed to have died as a result of the illness, disease, or disability for which they received such assistance.

No Award Payable

Despite any other provision, no award is payable under this Act for an application made by or in respect of a member of the forces after April 1, 2006 unless:

• The application is in respect of a disability for which a pension has been granted.
• The application is in respect of the death of a member of the forces if the death occurred before April 1, 2006 or is the result of an injury or disease, or the aggravation of an injury or disease, for which a pension has been granted.
• The application is in respect of an injury or disease that was attributable to or was incurred during, or arose out of or was directly connected to, service in the Canadian Forces on or before April 1, 1947.
• The Minister has determined that the injury or disease, or the aggravation of the injury or disease, for which the application is made is inseparable from an injury or a disease, or the aggravation of an injury or a disease, for which a pension has been granted.
