Amharc ar fhreagraThe Injury Warrants are a series of statutory instruments, made under the Superannuation Act 1887, which provides benefits to or in respect of officers who, through no fault of their own, are killed or injured while performing their duties.
These benefits comprise (a) annual allowances, (b) gratuities, (c) loss of earnings allowances and (d) refunds of certain expenses.
We have had no such claims for injury warrants in my Department.
