Explanatory note

Where a disablement pension with unemployability supplement is increased in respect of a child and the beneficiary is one of two persons who are spouses residing together or an unmarried couple, section 64(1B) of the Social Security Act 1975 provides that the increase shall not be payable in respect of the first child if the other person’s earnings are £85 a week or more and in respect of a further child for each complete £10 by which the earnings exceed £85. This Order substitutes the amounts of £100 for the amounts of £85 and £13 for the amount of £10.

Article 3 contains a revocation consequent upon the coming into force of this Order.
