(This note is not part of the Scheme)

This Scheme, which takes effect on 1st February 1989, further amends the Personal Injuries (Civilians) Scheme 1983 (“the principal Scheme”).

Article 2 inserts article 74A into the principal Scheme to provide for the payment of pensions by direct credit transfer.

Article 3 amends article 75 of the principal Scheme, which relates to the payment of pensions, to take account of the new article 74A. Paragraphs (1A), (1B) and (1C) re-enact the provisions in article 75(1) and paragraph (1D) provides for the means by which pension is to be paid where article 74A of the principal Scheme does not apply.
