This Order makes further changes in the Redundant Mineworkers Payments Scheme, scheduled to the Redundant Mineworkers and Concessionary Coal (Payments Schemes) Order 1973 and previously amended by the Redundant Mineworkers and Concessionary Coal (Payments Schemes) (Amendment) Orders 1975 and 1976.
The principal change is the addition of a new table of basic weekly benefits for men who become redundant on or after 6th April 1977. This involves changes in Article 5 of the scheme and consequential changes in Article 6.
Under Article 6 of the 1973 Scheme basic benefit is reduced to take account of certain social security and other benefits, subject to the proviso that the rate of basic weekly benefit shall not be reduced below £3. Article 3(b)(i) of this Order raises this figure to £5.23.
Additional weekly benefits payable under Article 8 of the 1973 Scheme after basic benefit has expired are subject to a deduction for pensions paid under the National Coal Board's Staff Superannuation Schemes. This deduction is the amount by which the weekly amount of that pension exceeds £5. Article 3(c) of this Order increases that figure to £8.
