(a) unemployment, sickness or injury benefit under any Act relating to National Insurance at the current rate for a person having no dependants, in so far as any such benefit (whether at that or any other rate) is claimable by him in respect of such week;

(b) two thirds of the net emoluments received by him in respect of such week from work or employment undertaken in place of the employment which he has lost;

(c) any periodical payment to which he is entitled in respect of such week by virtue of any pension scheme to which he was subject in relation to the employment which he has lost.

(2) In determining the amount of resettlement compensation the compensating authority shall have regard to any payments to which the claimant becomes entitled in consequence of the loss of his employment under any contract or arrangement with the statutory water undertakers by whom he was employed (other than payments by way of a return of contributions under a pension scheme).

(3) For the purposes of this regulation the weekly rate of a claimant's net emoluments shall be deemed to be seven three hundred and sixty-fifths of those emoluments.
