(b) a person so employed as a workmen's employee,
shall, subject as hereinafter provided, and provided he is not eligible for payments under any of the former Schemes, be eligible for payments under this Scheme; such a person is hereafter referred to as a “coal industry employee”.

3 Age and redundancy requirements
A coal industry employee shall not be eligible for payments under Article 5 unless—
(a) he is a redundant person and, in the case of an employee employed at a prescribed place, became a redundant person by reason of the cessation or reduction of the services or facilities at that place, being services or facilities ancillary to one or more coal mines, in consequence of the closure of one or more of such mines or the reduction in the number of persons employed thereat;
(b) when he became a redundant person the relevant date fell between 25th March 1978 and 29th March 1981; and
(c) on the relevant date he had attained the age of 55 and had not attained the age of 65 in the case of a man or 60 in the case of a woman.

4 Requirements of a redundant person
(1) A coal industry employee shall be a redundant person within the meaning of this Scheme if he has completed a total period of not less than 10 years' employment with one or more coal industry employers, or with any other employer at a coal mine or at a prescribed place prior to 1st January 1947, and in consequence of his dismissal on the relevant date by a coal industry employer, he either—
(a) becomes entitled to receive a redundancy payment under the Redundancy Payments Act 1965 from that employer; or
(b) would have become entitled to receive such a payment were it not that he had not been continuously employed by one coal industry employer for a period of 104 weeks ending with the relevant date, if he had either—
(i) during such period of 104 weeks left the employment of a coal industry employer and not later than one week after leaving such employment entered into employment with that or any other coal industry employer; or
(ii) become entitled previously to receive such a payment from a coal industry employer and had entered into employment with that or any other coal industry employer not later than 52 weeks after becoming so entitled.
(2) Appendix 3 hereof and not section 8 of the Redundancy Payments Act 1965 (which provides for the calculation of periods of employment) shall apply for the purposes of paragraph (1) of this Article, for ascertaining the length of a coal industry employee's period of employment, and whether or not the period of 104 weeks ending with the relevant date has been continuous.

5 Basic benefit payable
Subject as hereinafter provided—
(1) The Secretary of State may pay to any coal industry employee eligible for payments under the foregoing provisions of this Scheme—
(a) whose relevant date fell between 25th March 1978 and 6th April 1978 the weekly sum specified in column 2 of Part 1 of Appendix 4 opposite the amounts specified in column 1 thereof appropriate to the amount of that employee's pre-redundancy earnings, and
(b) whose relevant date fell on or after 6th April 1978 the weekly sum specified in column 2 of Part 2 of Appendix 4 opposite the amounts specified in column 1 thereof appropriate to the amount of that employee's pre-redundancy earnings.
(2) When the weekly sum payable under paragraph (1) has been paid for 52 weeks it may be supplemented in respect of any subsequent week by such additional weekly sum as the Secretary of State may think appropriate to take account of changes in the cost of living during the period of 12 months ending on the 6th April which immediately precedes the expiry of the said 52 weeks and when the said weekly sum (supplemented as aforesaid) has been paid for a further 52 weeks it may be further supplemented in respect of any subsequent week by such additional weekly sum as the Secretary of State may think appropriate to take account of changes in the cost of living during the period of 12 months ending on the 6th April which immediately precedes the expiry of these further 52 weeks.
(3) Where any coal industry employee eligible for payments under this Scheme is re-employed by a coal industry employer and then ceases to be so employed the Secretary of State in assessing the supplements under paragraph (2) may take account of changes in the cost of living during his period of re-employment by a coal industry employer as well as the changes in the cost of living during a period specified in that paragraph:
Provided that this paragraph does not apply to such an employee who is so employed for a period of not less than one year and makes an election under paragraph (4).

(5) Where a coal industry employee makes an election under paragraph (4), the Secretary of State in assessing the supplements under paragraph (2) may take account of changes in the cost of living during the period of 12 months ending on the 6th April which immediately precedes the date on which the weekly sum payable under paragraph (1) has been paid for 52 weeks and the further period of 52 weeks respectively after the date substituted as the relevant date by virtue of the said election under paragraph (4).
(6) Where any coal industry employee was on the relevant date occupying a house as a tenant of or under a licence from the Board and, in consequence of his having ceased to be in their employment, the Board—
(a) in the case of an employee who immediately before such relevant date was not making any payment to them in respect of his occupation of that house, charge that employee any weekly payment in respect of his occupation of that house or any other house; or
(b) in the case of an employee who immediately before such relevant date was making a payment to them in respect of his occupation of that house, increase the weekly amount payable in respect of his occupation of that house or any other house,
then, provided that such employee is eligible for payments under the foregoing provisions of this Scheme, the Secretary of State may pay to him in addition to any sums payable under this Article either—
(i) a weekly sum equal to the weekly amount of such payment or weekly increase of such payment as the case may be; or
(ii) the weekly sum of £1.50,
whichever shall be the less.
(7) A coal industry employee shall remain eligible for payments under paragraph (6) notwithstanding the sale of the house in respect of which the weekly sum is payable or his having moved to another house.

6 Adjustment of the basic benefit
(1) If in any week in respect of which the basic benefit is payable to any coal industry employee he is entitled to receive any of the payments specified under heads (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of this Article the basic benefit shall be reduced by making the deduction specified below in relation to that head—
(a) in respect of—
(i) special hardship allowance in respect of an industrial accident sustained or an industrial disease developed before the relevant date;
(ii) supplementary disablement pension under the National Coal Board Industrial Death and Retirement Scheme;
by the amount of any such benefits which such employee becomes entitled to receive taking into account any increases or decreases thereof (but ignoring any general increases in such benefits) after the last week before the relevant date in which such employee is not entitled to sickness or injury benefit or invalidity pension;
(b) in respect of—
(iii) workmen's compensation under the Workmen's Compensation Acts 1925 to 1945, the enactments repealed by the Workmen's Compensation Act 1925, or under any contracting-out scheme duly certified under any of those Acts;

Provided that the foregoing deductions shall not operate so as to reduce the amount payable in any week to less than £6.16; and if in any week in respect of which the basic benefit is payable to any coal industry employee he is entitled to receive any of the payments specified under heads (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix) or (x) of this Article, the basic benefit already reduced to an amount of not less than £6.16 by the foregoing provisions of this Article shall be further reduced or extinguished by making the deduction specified below in relation to that head—

by the amount of such benefits which such employee becomes entitled to receive after the relevant date.

A coal industry employee's period of employment shall be computed in weeks in accordance with this Appendix.

2 General provisions as to the period of employment
(1) Except so far as is otherwise provided by the following provisions of this Appendix, any week which does not count under paragraph 3, 4, 5 or 6 of this Appendix breaks the continuity of the period of employment.
(2) During any week which breaks the continuity of the period of employment a coal industry employee shall not be treated as being in the employment of a coal industry employer.

3 Normal working weeks
Any week in which a coal industry employee is employed for 16 hours or more by a coal industry employer shall count in computing a period of employment.

4 Employment governed by contract
Any week during the whole or part of which a coal industry employee's relations with a coal industry employer are governed by a contract of employment which normally involves employment for 16 hours or more weekly shall count in computing a period of employment.

5 Absence from work
(1) If in any week a coal industry employee is for the whole or part of that week—
(a) incapable of work in consequence of sickness or injury; or
(b) absent from work on account of a temporary cessation of work; or
(c) absent from work in circumstances such that, by arrangement or custom, he is regarded as continuing in the employment of a coal industry employer for all or any purposes,
that week shall, notwithstanding that it does not fall within paragraph 3 or 4 of this Appendix, count as a period of employment.
(2) Not more than 26 weeks shall count under head (a) of the foregoing sub-paragraph between any two periods falling within paragraph 3 or 4 of this Appendix.

6 Industrial disputes
If during any week a coal industry employee was for the whole or any part of that week absent from work because he was taking part in a strike that week shall count as a period of employment.

7 Interpretation
In this Appendix, unless the context otherwise requires—
“period of employment” means period of employment by a coal industry employer and in the case of paragraph 1 by any other employer at a coal mine or at a prescribed place prior to 1st January 1947;
“strike” means the cessation of work by a body of coal industry employees acting in combination or a concerted refusal or refusal under a common understanding of any number of coal industry employees to continue to work for a coal industry employer in consequence of a dispute undertaken as a means of compelling that coal industry employer or any person or body of persons employed, or to aid other employees in compelling their employer or any person or body of persons employed, to accept or not to accept terms or conditions of or affecting employment.
