INJURIES IN WAR COMPENSATION ACT 1914 (SESSION 2) - SECT 1



1.(1) The [Defence Council], subject to the consent of the Treasury, shall
have power to frame schemes as to pensions and grants and other allowances in
the nature thereof to be paid to persons (not being officers or men of any of
His Majesty's forces) in respect of disablement suffered whilst employed on
shore out of the United Kingdom by or under the [Secretary of State for
Defence] in connection with warlike operations in which His Majesty is
engaged, and, in the case of their death, to their widows or other dependants.

(2) A scheme shall specify the persons to whom the scheme applies and the
conditions under which it becomes applicable, and may include persons not in
the direct employment of the [Secretary of State for Defence].

(3) A person to whom any such scheme applies shall not, nor, in the case of
his death, shall his widow or other dependants or his personal
representatives, in respect of any disablement suffered by him whilst the
scheme so applies to him, be entitled to any pensions or other benefits under
any Order in Council or any warrant or regulations relating to officers and
men in the [naval, military or air force] service of the Crown, or to any
gratuity or any superannuation or other allowance under the Superannuation
Acts, 1834 to 1914, or to any compensation or damages at common law or under
any other statute, except so far as the scheme otherwise provides.

(4) All pensions, grants, and other allowances under this Act shall be paid
out of moneys provided by Parliament.

(5) A scheme under this Act may provide that the scheme shall have effect as
from the third day of August nineteen hundred and fourteen, and any such
scheme may be revoked or varied by a subsequent scheme.

(6) For the purposes of this section, "disablement" means disablement by
personal injury or by sickness specifically attributable to the nature or
conditions of the employment.
