Explanatory note

This Scheme amends the Workmen’s Compensation (Supplementation) Scheme 1982 (S.I. 1982/1489) by making adjustments to the rate of lesser incapacity allowance. This is consequential upon the increase in the maximum rate of that allowance made by the Social Security Benefits Up-rating Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/497). The Scheme also makes transitional provision.
