Article 65 Abatement of awards in respect of Social Security Benefits

Where a pension is awarded to or in respect of a person for any past period for which benefit under the National Insurance Act 1965 or any legislation in Northern Ireland corresponding thereto or under Chapters I to V of Part II of the Social Security Act 1975, or the corresponding provisions of the Social Security (Northern Ireland) Act 1975 has been paid to or in respect of that person, the total amount of pension so awarded may be abated by the amount by which the amount of benefit so paid exceeds what would have been payable for that period had the pension been concurrently payable.
