(a)in the case of a claim for resettlement compensation, not later than one month after the receipt of the claim,
(b)in the case of a claim for, or request for the review of an award of, compensation under Part IV or V of these Regulations, not later than one month after the receipt of the claim or request, and

(2) Where any such claim is continued or made as aforesaid by personal representatives, the personal representatives shall, as respects any steps to be taken or thing to be done by them in order to continue to make the claim, be deemed for the purposes of these Regulations to be the person entitled to claim, but, save as aforesaid, the person in whose right they continue or make the claim shall be deemed for the purposes of these Regulations to be that person, and the relevant provisions of the Regulations shall be construed accordingly.

(2) For the purpose of making any calculation under these Regulations in respect of a person's reckonable service, all periods of that service shall be aggregated by reference to completed years and completed days; and any provision in these Regulations requiring compensation to be calculated by reference to a year of reckonable service shall (unless the provision specifically states that compensation is payable in respect of completed years) be construed as including completed days, each completed day over and above a completed year being expressed as one 365th of a year.
38.—(1) In these Regulations, subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) and Regulation 39 the expression “emoluments” means
(2) Where fees or other variable payments were paid to an officer as part of his emoluments during any period immediately preceding the loss or diminution, the amount in respect of fees or other variable payments to be included in the annual rate of emoluments shall be the annual average of the fees or other payments paid to him during the period of 5 years immediately preceding the loss or diminution, or such other period as the determining authority may think reasonable in the circumstances.
(3) For the purposes of these Regulations the annual rate of emoluments in relation to any office which has been lost or the emoluments whereof have been lost or diminished shall be the amount described in (a), (b) or (c) of this paragraph, whichever is the greater—
(a)the emoluments received by him in the period of 12 months immediately preceding the loss or diminution;
(b)in the case of emoluments payable monthly, the emoluments payable in respect of the last complete month immediately preceding the loss or diminution multiplied by 12; or
(c)in the case of emoluments payable weekly, the emoluments payable in respect of the last complete week immediately preceding the loss or diminution multiplied by 52.
39. In ascertaining for the purposes of these Regulations whether, and how far, the emoluments of alternative employment fall short of emoluments which have been lost where those emoluments were payable in respect of two or more part-time offices, the emoluments of the alternative employment or of the aggregate of two or more alternative employments shall be apportioned in the proportion which the emoluments of the part-time offices bore to each other.
