Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations substitute the table in Schedule 4 to the Diffuse Mesothelioma Payment Scheme Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/916). This has the effect of increasing the level of payments made under the scheme for each age category by 49%. The substituted payment amounts apply to eligible persons first diagnosed with diffuse mesothelioma on or after 4th November 2025 and, where the person first diagnosed with diffuse mesothelioma on or after 4th November 2025 has died without making an application to the scheme, to their eligible dependants.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary sector or community bodies is foreseen.
