Explanatory note

This Order amends the Naval, Military and Air Forces Etc. (Disablement and Death) Service Pensions Order 1983 (S.I. 1983/883) so as to make clear which pensions, allowances and supplements are required to be claimed expressly, to provide for claims to be made through certain authorised agents and to provide for claims to be treated as being made on earlier dates in specified circumstances. It also makes minor corrections to the titles to certain articles in consequence of changes in their scope by earlier amending Orders.

This Order does not impose any costs on business.
