# The Personal Injuries (Civilians) Scheme 1983, Article 57: Power to relax conditions of Scheme


(1) Any condition or requirement in Article 2(7), 2(8) or 2(10) to the effect that a person who has sustained a qualifying injury must, at any date or throughout any period, have maintained or supported to any extent another person may be waived if the Secretary of State is satisfied that—
(a) the injured person was prevented for any reason from maintaining or supporting the other person to that extent; and
(b) the circumstances of the case are such as to justify the waiver of the condition or requirement.
(2) Where a condition or requirement is waived under this Article in any case, such award may be made in that case as the Secretary of State may consider appropriate, so, however, that the rate or amount thereof shall not exceed the rate or amount which would have been appropriate if the condition or requirement had been fulfilled.
