Where, before the passing of this Act, any claim in respect of the disablement of any person has been made under any such Royal Warrant, Order in Council or Order of His Majesty as is referred to in section one of the Pensions Appeal Tribunals Act 1943, or has been made under any such scheme as is referred to in section two or section three of that Act and that claim was rejected and that rejection was confirmed on appeal under that Act and, whether before or after the passing of this Act, an ex gratia award is made by the Minister with the consent of the Treasury in respect of that disablement, section five of that Act (which relates to the assessment of the extent of disablement) and, where the claim was made under any such Royal Warrant, Order in Council or Order as aforesaid, the said section one, so far as it relates to the rejection of a claim on the ground that the injury on which it is based no longer remains aggravated by any relevant service, shall apply in relation to that ex gratia award as if it had been an award duly made under the Royal Warrant, Order in Council, Order or scheme on the original claim.
