Explanatory note

This Order amends the Pensions Appeal Tribunals (Posthumous Appeals) Order 1980 (S.I. 1980/1082) to reflect changes made to the route of onward appeal from the Pensions Appeal Tribunal.

The Armed Forces (Pension and Compensation) Act 2004 (c. 32) amends the Pension Appeal Tribunals Act 1943 (c. 39) to provide that appeals from the Pension Appeal Tribunals will lie to the Social Security Commissioners appointed under Schedule 4 to the Social Security Act 1998 (c. 14) or under section 50 of the Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) Act 1992 (c. 8).
