The Convention continues to apply to other persons who are insured under the social security schemes of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and to persons who are insured under the social security schemes of the Isle of Man, the Island of Jersey and the Islands of Guernsey.\nThe Second Supplementary Convention provides for benefits already awarded and claims in course of determination to be governed by the Convention.",
