EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


The Naval, Military and Air Forces etc. (Disablement and Death) Service Pensions Order 1983 has been amended each year to provide for increases to be made to the rates of gratuities and pensions payable under that Order. Errors occurred in the way in which Table 1 and Table 2 of Part III of Schedule 1 to that Order were amended by the Naval, Military and Air Forces (Disablement and Death) Service Pensions (Amendment) Order 2004. These errors resulted in the making of gratuity payments pursuant to those Tables which, in some cases, were lower than intended. This Order corrects the position by providing for the payment of a single additional sum to persons who received a gratuity payment determined by reference to the rates contained in the 2004 Amending Order. The total of the additional sum and the gratuity originally paid equates to the correct amount.

A regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no significant impact on the costs of business, charities or voluntary bodies.
