# The Coroners (Compensation) Regulations 1975, Regulation 27: Reduction of compensation in certain cases


(1) Where in any week a person entitled to long-term compensation for loss or diminution of emoluments is also entitled to a National Insurance benefit, there shall be deducted from the long-term compensation payable in respect of that week a sum equal to the amount by which the aggregate of—
(a) the National Insurance benefit that would be payable in respect of that week if calculated at the rate applicable at the date of loss or diminution, and
(b) the weekly rate at which the long-term compensation would be payable but for this Regulation,
exceeds two-thirds of the weekly rate of the emoluments of the employment which he has lost or in which the emoluments have been diminished.
(2) No deduction shall be made under paragraph (1) insofar as
(a) an equivalent sum is deducted from the emoluments of his current employment, and
(b) that deduction from those emoluments has not occasioned an increase in his long-term compensation.
(3) In paragraph (1) the expression “weekly rate” means seven 365ths of the relevant annual rate, and the expression “National Insurance benefit” means any unemployment, sickness, invalidity or injury benefit or retirement pension payable under any enactment relating to National Insurance, other than a benefit claimable by him in respect of a dependant.
