Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

Where a disabled person is in receipt of a pension under Article 11 in respect of disablement the degree of which is not less than 80 per cent., and it is shown to the satisfaction of the Secretary of State that constant attendance on the disabled person is necessary on account of the disablement, he may be awarded an allowance at a rate not exceeding the rate specified in Schedule 3, paragraph 3(b):

Provided that in an exceptional case of very severe disablement the allowance may, subject to such conditions as the Secretary of State may determine, be increased to a rate not exceeding the rate specified in paragraph 3(a) of the said Schedule.
