The Order provides for the payment, with effect from 1st December 1978, of the pension increases resulting from the 1978 review and based on the rise in the cost of living during the review period of twelve months ending with 30th June 1978. To qualify for increase a person in receipt of a pension must satisfy one of the qualifying conditions specified in section 3 of the 1971 Act (as amended by section 3(2) and (3) of the Pensions (Increase) Act 1974) or the pension must be a widow's pension.",
