  "text": "(1) Without prejudice to any other requirement of these Regulations, the conditions for the payment of resettlement compensation to any person are that—\n(a) he has suffered loss of employment attributable to any provision of the Act or any instrument made under the Act not later than 10 years after the material date;\n(b) he had not at the date of the loss attained age 65;\n(c) he had for a period of 2 years immediately before the material date held continuously (disregarding breaks not exceeding in the aggregate 6 months) the office of coroner;\n(d) he has made a claim for such compensation in accordance with the provisions of Part VII of these Regulations not later than 13 weeks after the loss of employment which is the cause of his claim, or 13 weeks after the coming into operation of these Regulations, whichever is the later, or within any longer period which the compensating authority allow in any particular case where they are satisfied that the delay in making the claim was due to ill-health or other circumstances beyond the claimant's control;\n(e) the loss of employment which is the cause of his claim has occurred for some reason other than misconduct or incapacity to perform the duties that, immediately before the loss, he was performing or might reasonably have been required to perform; and\n(f) he has not, subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), after the local authority either informs him in writing that his services are or are likely to be terminated or gives him written notice of termination of services, been offered in writing any reasonably comparable employment being employment in the office of coroner or in assisting the holder of such an office in the performance of the duties of that office or under the Crown or in the service of a local authority, or such other employment as the Secretary of State may, in the case of any named person, approve.\n(2) In ascertaining for the purpose of this Regulation whether a person has been offered employment which is reasonably comparable with the employment which he has lost, no account shall be taken of the fact that the duties of the employment offered are in relation to a different service from that in connection with which his employment was held or are duties which involve a transfer of his employment from one place to another within England and Wales.\n(3) For the purposes of this Regulation, where the compensating authority is satisfied—\n(a) that acceptance of an offer would have involved undue hardship to the person,\n(b) that he was prevented from accepting an offer by reason of ill-health or other circumstances beyond his control, or\n(c) that, before the coming into operation of these Regulations, an offer—\n(i) has not been accepted by him, and\n(ii) has lapsed or otherwise terminated,\nno account shall be taken of that offer.",
