Payments to persons disabled by a disease3
1
The amount of any payment made to any person disabled by a disease who has made a claim for, and in respect of whom there is entitlement to a payment under the Act, shall be determined in accordance with Table 1 of the Schedule.
2
For the purpose of a determination as respects Part A of Table 1 of the Schedule the age of the person concerned and the percentage assessment shall be related to the first determination that he was suffering from the disease in the following manner—
a
in any case where the said determination was a determination of a Pneumoconiosis Medical Board, (or Special Medical Board, as the case may be), the age of the person concerned shall be the age of that person at his last birthday preceding the first day of the month in which that determination was made, and the percentage assessment shall be that which is applicable either at the time or retrospectively for the period immediately following the date of the determination by that Board;
b
in any case where the said determination was a determination of a Medical Appeal Tribunal, the age of that person shall be his age at his last birthday preceding the first day of the month in which his case was last considered by a Pneumoconiosis Medical Board, (or Special Medical Board, as the case may be), (being at a time prior to the aforesaid determination of a Medical Appeal Tribunal) and the percentage assessment shall be that which is applicable for the period immediately following the date of that last consideration by a Pneumoconiosis Medical Board, (or Special Medical Board, as the case may be).
3
For the purpose of a determination as respects Part B of Table 1 of the Schedule the age of the person concerned shall be the age of that person at his last birthday preceding the first day of the month of the first determination of a Silicosis Medical Board that he was suffering from the disease, or in the case of diffuse mesothelioma, the age of the person concerned shall be the age of that person at his last birthday preceding the first day of the month in which the Administrative Board (established for the purposes of the Industrial Injuries and Diseases (Old Cases) Act 1975 or any of the former Old Cases Acts) or an insurance officer, or an adjudication officer, as the case may be, first awarded disablement benefit in respect of the disease: and the extent of incapacity shall be that which is applicable either at the time or retrospectively for the period immediately following the date of the determination or the award of disablement benefit, as the case may be.
4
In any case where, at the time of the first determination of a Pneumoconiosis Medical Board, (or Special Medical Board, as the case may be), or a Medical Appeal Tribunal that the disabled person was suffering from the disease, the aforesaid Board or Tribunal, as the case may be, diagnosed that pneumoconiosis was accompanied by tuberculosis, the provisions of this regulation shall apply subject to the provisions of regulation 6.
Payments to dependants of persons disabled by a disease4
1
The amount of any payment made to a dependant of a person to whom disablement benefit in respect of a disease was payable immediately before he died, or would have been payable but for his disablement amounting to less than the appropriate percentage, being the dependant entitled to a payment under the Act, shall be determined by ascertaining the amount which would have been payable to the deceased in accordance with regulation 3 had he still been alive and had duly made a claim for payment under the Act, deducting from that amount the sum which would have been payable to the deceased if his age at his last birthday preceding his death were substituted for the age used in ascertaining the said amount in accordance with the said regulation 3.
2
Where the Secretary of State is satisfied that the deceased died as a result of the disease, there shall be added to the amount calculated in accordance with paragraph (1) of this regulation a further amount determined in accordance with Table 2 of the Schedule and the age of the deceased for this purpose shall be his age at his last birthday preceding his death. In the case of a disease other than diffuse mesothelioma, the percentage disablement or extent of incapacity, as the case may be, shall be the same as that used in determining the amount payable under the provisions of regulation 3.
3
For the purpose of determining whether a payment should be made under the provisions of paragraph (2) of this regulation, it shall be sufficient evidence that the deceased died as a result of the disease if death benefit is payable or was paid as a lump sum by reason of the deceased’s death as a result of the disease.
4
It shall not be open to the Secretary of State to be satisfied that the deceased died as a result of the disease if there is clear evidence that a claim for death benefit has been disallowed on the ground that the deceased did not die as a result of the disease.
5
Where no claim for death benefit has been made, it shall not be open to the Secretary of State to be satisfied that the deceased died as a result of the disease if there is clear evidence available that in the opinion of two doctors of the pneumoconiosis medical panel or Medical Boarding Centre (Respiratory Diseases), as the case may be, the deceased did not die as a result of the disease.
6
a
A dependant of a person to whom disablement benefit in respect of a disease was not payable immediately before he died, being the dependant entitled to a payment under the Act, shall be paid an amount determined in accordance with Table 2 of the Schedule if:—
i
death benefit is payable to or in respect of the said dependant, or
ii
disablement benefit would have been payable to the deceased immediately before he died but for his not having claimed benefit, or but for his having died before he had suffered from the disease for the appropriate period.
b
The relevant percentage assessment or extent of incapacity, as the case may be, for the purposes of Parts A and B of the aforesaid Table, shall be that determined by a Pneumoconiosis Medical Board, (or Special Medical Board, as the case may be), or a Silicosis Medical Board in respect of the period immediately prior to the deceased’s death or if no such determination was made the said relevant percentage assessment or extent of incapacity shall be taken as 10 per cent. or “partial” respectively: and the age of the deceased, for this purpose, shall be taken as his age at his last birthday preceding his death.
7
As respects any claim made by the dependant of a deceased person where that person has died as a result of diffuse mesothelioma, the provisions of this regulation shall apply subject to the provisions of regulation 5.
Payment where death results from diffuse mesothelioma5
1
In any case where the Secretary of State is satisfied, as respects a claim by a dependant of a deceased person who died on or after 22nd August 1966 (the said dependant being the dependant who is entitled to a payment under the Act), that the said deceased person died as a result of diffuse mesothelioma the amount of the payment to that dependant shall be:—
a
the amount payable in accordance with regulation 4 in respect of diffuse mesothelioma if—
i
disablement benefit was payable to the deceased immediately before he died solely in respect of diffuse mesothelioma, or
ii
death benefit is payable to or in respect of the said dependant where disablement benefit in respect of a disease was not payable to the deceased immediately before he died, or
iii
disablement benefit would have been payable to the deceased immediately before he died but for his not having claimed the benefit or but for his having died before he had suffered from the disease for the appropriate period;
b
if disablement benefit was payable to the deceased immediately before he died solely in respect of pneumoconiosis, either—
i
the total amount payable in accordance with regulation 4 in a case where the deceased’s death resulted from pneumoconiosis or, if greater—
ii
the amount payable in accordance with regulation 4(6) in respect of the deceased’s death as a result of diffuse mesothelioma;
c
if disablement benefit was payable to the deceased immediately before he died in respect of both pneumoconiosis and diffuse mesothelioma or would have been payable to him but for the circumstances specified in (a)(iii) above, either the amount payable in accordance with paragraph (a) of this regulation or that payable in accordance with paragraph (b)(i), whichever amount is the greater.
Provided that in any case the amount payable to a dependant under this regulation shall be at least £1,263 more than the amount which would have been payable to him if he had been entitled to a payment calculated in accordance with regulation 4(6).
2
In the case of any amount payable in accordance with this regulation to the dependant of a deceased person the Secretary of State shall deduct from any such amount a sum equal to any payment made under the provisions of the Act to the said deceased person prior to death, save that any amount so payable after any such deduction shall not, in any event, be less than the minimum payment prescribed in regulation 8.
Payment where pneumoconiosis is accompanied by tuberculosis6
1
In any case where, at the time of the first determination of a Pneumoconiosis Medical Board, (or Special Medical Board, as the case may be), or Medical Appeal Tribunal that the disabled person was suffering from the disease, the aforesaid Board or Tribunal, as the case may be, diagnosed that pneumoconiosis was accompanied by tuberculosis, the amount payable to any such disabled person under the provisions of the Act shall be determined by adding together—
a
the sum of £2,613, if the percentage assessment applicable for the period immediately following the date relevant for the purposes of regulation 3(2) was one hundred per cent. or if less than one hundred per cent. that percentage of £2,613, in respect of the year beginning on that date (that is to say the date relevant for the purpose of regulation 3(2)), and in respect of each successive year beginning on the anniversary of that date on the first day of which the said disabled person was, or appears to the Secretary of State to have been, suffering from pneumoconiosis accompanied by active tuberculosis, and
b
a lump sum determined in accordance with Part A of Table 1 of the Schedule, taking, for this purpose, the age of the disabled person as his age at his last birthday prior to the end of the last year to which paragraph (1)(a) of this regulation applies, and taking also for this purpose the percentage assessment as that applicable for the period immediately following the end of the period during which the said disabled person was suffering from pneumoconiosis accompanied by active tuberculosis.
2
The amount payable to a dependant of any disabled person who, had he been alive, would have been entitled to a payment determined in accordance with paragraph (1) of this regulation, being the dependant entitled to a payment under the Act, shall be determined in accordance with regulation 4, save that the amount which would have been payable to the deceased in accordance with paragraph (1) of this regulation shall be substituted for the amount which would have been payable to him in accordance with regulation 3 with the percentage disablement taken for the purpose of determining the sum to be deducted under regulation 4(1) from the aforesaid amount being the percentage disablement used for the purpose of determining the lump sum under paragraph (1)(b) of this regulation.
3
In any case to which the provisions of this regulation apply and where it appears to the Secretary of State that tuberculosis either remains active at the time a claim is made under the provisions of the Act, or remained active until the time when the disabled person died, the amount of the payment shall be determined as if at the time of its first determination that the disabled person was suffering from the disease the Pneumoconiosis Medical Board, (or Special Medical Board, as the case may be), or Medical Appeal Tribunal, as the case may be, had not diagnosed that pneumoconiosis was accompanied by tuberculosis.
4
No payment made in accordance with this regulation shall exceed the amount which would have been payable if at the time of its first determination that the disabled person was suffering from the disease the Pneumoconiosis Medical Board, (or Special Medical Board, as the case may be), or Medical Appeal Tribunal, as the case may be, had not diagnosed that pneumoconiosis was accompanied by tuberculosis.
Power of Secretary of State to determine amount of payment7
In the case of a claim by any person who appears to the Secretary of State to be entitled to a payment under the Act but in respect of whose claim the Secretary of State is unable to determine affirmatively or accurately, to his satisfaction, the amount which should properly be paid to that person in accordance with these Regulations (whether because the date relevant for the purposes of regulation 3 is unknown or uncertain or for some other reason), payment shall nevertheless be made to that person of whatever amount, in any particular case, appears to the Secretary of State to be just and equitable:
Provided that in the case of any such payment—
a
where the date relevant for the purposes of regulation 3 is unknown or uncertain, the date to be taken as the relevant date shall be the latest date which, on the evidence available, could have been the relevant date;
b
where the relevant percentage disablement is unknown or uncertain this shall be taken as the lowest percentage on the evidence available which could have been the relevant percentage disablement;
c
where the relevant extent of incapacity is unknown or uncertain this shall be taken to be “partial”.
Minimum amount payable to dependant8
In any case where entitlement to payment under the Act has been established by the dependant of any person who immediately before he died was disabled by a disease and the amount of any payment to the said dependant under the foregoing provisions of these Regulations is less than the sum of £1,263 the amount actually payable to that dependant shall, in no such case, be less than that sum.
Signed by order of the Secretary of State.
