Central Office Instruction
amending General Orders (1993 edition)
Instruction No. 23
Date of Effect: 18 November 1993
Other changes
The opportunity is taken to effect a minor change to the fourth paragraph of Chapter 11 by deleting reference to Instalment Relief.
The need for this change has arisen from legal advice obtained in relation to a widow's entitlement to an Initial Advance. In brief, the effect of the advice is that a widow assisted as a joint tenant with her late husband may obtain Instalment Relief in relation to the original advance without affecting her entitlement to an Initial Advance for use some time later.
Attached is an amended page for the Entitlement General Orders. Please replace the existing page 49 with the amended version.
