The Pensions Increase (Injury Warrant Pensions) Regulations 1971
Under the Injury Warrants Act 1952–1971 allowances are paid to civil servants and other persons employed by the Government who are injured on duty, and to the dependents of those who have died as a result of their injuries. These allowances are reduced by the value of certain social security benefits under the National Insurance Act 1965 (c.51), the National Insurance (Industrial Injuries) Act 1965 (c.52) and the Family Allowances Act 1965 (c.53) as amended. These Regulations provide for pensions increase under the Pensions (Increase) Act to be calculated on the annual rate of pension before the reduction for other benefits is made. The pensions increase so calculated is restricted in order to ensure that the allowances paid to beneficiaries under the Injury Warrants plus pensions increase will not exceed the amount, (if any) by which the gross amount of the Warrant allowance plus pensions increase thereon exceeds the value of the social security benefits in respect of which the Warrant allowance is reduced.
