Explanatory note

(This Note is not part of the Scheme)

The Injuries in War (Shore Employments) Compensation Schemes 1914 to 1986 provide for the payment of weekly allowance to small numbers of ex-members of the Women’s Auxiliary Forces who suffered disablement from their services overseas during the 1914—18 war. This amending Scheme provides that the maximum weekly allowance payable shall be increased from £63.20 to £64.50 and that other allowances shall be increased proportionately. The increase will take effect as from 6 April 1987 in accordance with Section 1(5) of the Injuries in War Compensation Act 1914 (Session 2).
