(a)a claim for lesser incapacity allowance either—
(i)was not made before the operative date and the allowance is awarded for a period beginning on or 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 amended by this Scheme); or
(ii)was made but not determined before the operative date; and
(b)such allowance is found to be payable in respect of a period before the operative date;
the rate payable in respect of the period before the operative date shall be that which would have been payable had the amendment to the principal Scheme effected by article 3 of this Scheme not been made.

(This note is not part of the Scheme)
