EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Scheme)

This Scheme amends the Workmen’s Compensation (Supplementation) Scheme 1982 (S.I. 1982/1489) by making adjustments to the rate of lesser incapacity allowance, such adjustments being consequential upon the increase in the maximum rate of that allowance made by the Social Security Benefits Up-rating Order 2007 (S.I.2007/688). The Scheme also makes transitional provision.

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