Police compensation limits increase
9:20am Tuesday 26th August 2008
Lancashire police officers seriously injured in the line of duty will receive higher compensation payments under new government plans.
The proposals also specifically extend injury benefits to officers wounded in a terrorist attack.
Under the plans, officers who are totally disabled as a result of an injury will be eligible for a payment of five times their average pensionable salary, an increase from the current limit of four times their pay.
Payments to a partner after an officer’s death will rise by the same amount.
