Where a Pensions Officer makes a final assessment of the degree or nature of the disablement of a member, or a final decision that there is no disablement or that the disablement has come to an end, any award under regulations 41 to 50 made on the basis of that assessment, or any such final decision, shall not, subject to any decision given by the Compensation Board, and to the provisions of this Part, be reviewed unless —
in the case of a final assessment, there is a substantial increase in the degree of disablement which is attributable to service;
in the case of a final decision, there is a substantial degree of disablement which is attributable to service;
the rate of the pension or other grant has been fixed in error at a figure which is not appropriate under these Regulations to the assessment of the degree or nature of the disablement;
the award of the pension or other grant has been made in error; or
a Pensions Officer has reason to believe that the award has been obtained by improper means.
Subregulation 2
Any award under these Regulations (other than an award made on the basis of a final assessment referred to in paragraph (1)) may, subject to any decision given by the Compensation Board, be reviewed at any time on any of the grounds specified in paragraph (1) or on any other ground which, in the opinion of a Pensions Officer, having regard to these Regulations, necessitates its review.
Subregulation 3
On any review under this regulation, a Pensions Officer may continue or vary the award, or make a fresh award in place of it, or cancel it, or in the case of such a final decision as is mentioned in paragraph (1), may make an award as may be appropriate having regard to these Regulations.
