Article 3

A claim for compensation under Schedule 4 to the Measure by any incumbent, vicar in a team ministry or archdeacon, shall be in writing and shall be sent or delivered to the secretary.

A claim for such compensation may be made before the date on which the relevant provision of the pastoral scheme or order comes into operation and shall be made not later than thirteen weeks after that date; but the Committee may extend the time for making a claim, and the making of a claim shall not preclude the giving of supplementary information in writing or the making of any addition to or amendment of the claim.
