Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Scheme)
This Scheme amends the Personal Injuries (Civilians) Scheme 1983 (S.I. 1983/686) (“the principal Scheme”) by excluding noise-induced sensorineural hearing loss which is assessed as producing less than 20% disablement from giving rise to an entitlement to a lump sum under article 72 of the principal Scheme (articles 4 and 5).
Such hearing loss below that level is also to be excluded in determining, under article 10 of the principal Scheme, the overall degree of disablement for the purposes of awards of pension (article 3). Related conditions and symptoms accompanying such hearing loss are similarly excluded.
There are savings for those who have already claimed an award or a lump sum in respect of such hearing loss whether alone or with a related condition or symptom at the time the amending Scheme comes into force (article 6).
