For Schedule 1 to the principal Scheme, Part I (table of rates of lesser incapacity allowance for beneficiaries to whom article 5(2) applies) and Part II (table of loss of earnings and corresponding rates of lesser incapacity allowance), there shall be substituted the Schedule set out in the Schedule to this Scheme.
4.—(1) Paragraph (2) of this article shall apply to a beneficiary who was, before the operative date, in receipt of a lesser incapacity allowance but in respect of whom the final calculation of loss of earnings required by article 7(2) of the principal Scheme had not been made by that date.
(2) In such a case as is referred to in paragraph (1) the beneficiary shall be treated as entitled, from the operative date, to an allowance at the rate to which he would have been entitled had the final calculation been made before the operative date.
5.—(1) Paragraph (2) of this article shall apply to a person whose claim for lesser incapacity allowance—
(a)was not made before the operative date and who is awarded such allowance for a period after the operative date at one of the rates shown in the second column of Part II of Schedule 1 to the principal Scheme as it will have effect after the operative date; or
(b)was made but not determined before the operative date.
(2) Any lesser incapacity allowance which is found to be payable to a person mentioned in paragraph (1) in respect of a period before the operative date shall be paid at the rate which would have been payable in respect of that period had the amendment to the principal Scheme made by article 3 of this Scheme not been made.
6. Where a lesser incapacity allowance has been awarded to a person under the principal Scheme before the operative date and a question arises as to the weekly rate of allowance payable in consequence of this Scheme, the case shall be reconsidered in the light of the amendments made by, and transitional provisions contained in, this Scheme and the allowance shall continue to be payable at the weekly rate specified in the award until the question has been determined in accordance with the provisions of the principal Scheme.
