# The Personal Injuries (Civilians) Amendment Scheme 1994, 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 2 and 5 and the Schedule).
Article 3 of this Scheme enables the Secretary of State to review and revise an assessment decision of a Pensions Appeal Tribunal where he is satisfied by fresh medical evidence of a deterioration in the disablement in respect of which an assessment was made.
Article 4 of this Scheme inserts new articles 76A, 76B and 76C into the principal Scheme which deal with the suspension of benefit pending an appeal.
This Scheme does not impose any costs on business.
