This Order amends the Naval, Military and Air Forces Etc. (Disablement and Death) Service Pensions Order 2006 which makes provision for pensions and other awards in respect of disablement or death due to service before 6th April 2005 in the naval, military and air forces.

Article 3 substitutes the word ‘person’ for the word ‘widow’ in article 33(4) in order to correct a minor error.

Article 4 corrects a typographical error in the formula to determine the degree of disablement in article 42(10)(c).

Articles 5 and 6 substitute Tables in Schedules 1 and 2 thereby varying the rates of retired pay, pensions, gratuities and allowances in respect of disablement or death due to service in the armed forces.
