Regulation 11 Miscellaneous provisions relating to payment of compensation

Subject to any statutory provision in that behalf, any compensation payable under these regulations shall be payable to, or in trust for, any person who is entitled to compensation under these regulations and shall not be assignable or chargeable with his debts or other liabilities.

Where on the death of a person to whom compensation is payable under these regulations any sum, including any sum payable under the superannuation regulations in respect of that person, not exceeding £1,500 is due to or in respect of that person, the Secretary of State may dispense with proof of the title of the personal representative of that person and pay that sum to the person, or to or among one or more of any persons, appearing to the Secretary of State on such evidence as he deems satisfactory to be entitled by law to a beneficial interest therein, or, in the case of the illegitimacy of the deceased person or his children, to or among such persons as the Secretary of State may think fit, and any person to whom such a payment is made, and not the Secretary of State, shall thereafter be liable to account for any amount so paid.
