These Regulations substitute the table in Schedule 4 to the Diffuse Mesothelioma Payment Scheme Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/916). This has the effect of increasing the level of payments made under the scheme for each age category by an average of around £30,000. The substituted payment amounts apply to eligible persons first diagnosed with diffuse mesothelioma on or after 10th February 2015 and, where the person first diagnosed with diffuse mesothelioma on or after 10th February 2015 has died without making an application to the scheme, to their eligible dependants.
