Regulation 6

After Regulation 33 of the principal Regulations (reduction of compensation) there shall be inserted the following Regulation:—

“Deduction in respect of national insurance benefit

33A

(1)

Where in any week a person is entitled to long-term compensation for loss or diminution of emoluments and is also entitled to unemployment, sickness or injury benefit under any Act relating to national insurance, other than a benefit claimable by him in respect of a dependant, there shall be deducted from the long-term compensation payable for that week a sum equal to the amount by which the aggregate of such national insurance benefits claimable in respect of that week, the weekly rate at which the long-term compensation would be payable but for this Regulation, and the weekly rate of any superannuation benefit taken into account for the purpose of Regulation 15(4) of these Regulations, exceeds two-thirds of the weekly rate of the net emoluments of the employment which he has lost or in which the emoluments have been diminished:

Provided that this paragraph shall not apply in relation to any such sickness or injury benefit insofar as an equivalent sum is deducted from the emoluments of his current employment and such deduction from those emoluments has not occasioned an increase in his long-term compensation.

(2)

For the purposes of paragraph (1) of this Regulation the expression “weekly rate” means seven three hundred and sixty-fifths of the relevant annual rate.”.
