# The Personal Injuries (Civilians) Amendment Scheme 1989, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Scheme)
This Scheme further amends the Personal Injuries (Civilians) Scheme 1983 (“the principal Scheme”) which makes provision for the payment of pensions and allowances to or in respect of civilians who were killed or injured in the 1939-45 War.
This Scheme raises the maximum amount of annual earnings which may be received by a disabled person while he is deemed to be unemployable for the purposes of unemployability allowances under Article 18 of the principal Scheme, and varies the rates of pensions and allowances in respect of disablement and death in the 1939–45 War (Articles 3 and 5, and the Schedule).
It also makes amendments (Articles 2 and 4) consequential upon the abolition in Scotland from 1st April 1989 of domestic rates and their replacement by community charge.
