13.—(1) No person, who was, immediately before the 7th day of January, 1949, in receipt of a pension and a supplement thereto under the Order of 1947, shall, if he continues to be entitled to such pension after the 6th day of January, 1949, receive less by way of pension than he would have received if this Act had not been passed and the Order of 1947 had continued in force.
|
|

(2) (a) In this subsection, the expression “the standard weekly rate” means, in relation to a pension, the rate at which such pension would for the time being be payable under the Acts, as amended by this Chapter, if subsection (1) of this section had not been enacted.
|
|
| |
(b) Where, by virtue of subsection (1) of this section, a person is, on or after the 7th day of January, 1949, in receipt of a pension at a weekly rate higher than the standard weekly rate, the pension officer concerned shall from time to time review such pension and on any such review make such adjustments (if any) in the weekly rate thereof as would be appropriate if this Act had not been passed and the Order of 1947 had continued in force, but shall not so adjust such pension that it becomes payable at a weekly rate lower than the standard weekly rate.
|
|
| |
(c) Where any pension is adjusted under this subsection, such pension shall thereupon, but subject to any further adjustment, become payable at the weekly rate to which it is so adjusted.
