# The Pensions (Polish Forces) Scheme 1964, Note: Explanatory note


This Scheme is made in consequence of the Royal Warrant dated 19th September 1964 which consolidated, inter alia, the provisions, previously contained in the Royal Warrant dated 24th May 1949 and subsequent amending Warrants, relating to pensions and other awards in respect of disablement or death due to service in the British military forces since 2nd September 1939.
The Scheme, in applying the 1964 Warrant with modifications, provides for members of certain Polish forces and their dependants benefits similar to those provided for members of the British military forces and replaces, with amendments only of a drafting nature or designed to remove minor doubts and inconsistencies, the Pensions (Polish Forces) Scheme 1949, which applied in like manner the provisions of the 1949 Warrant.
