§ 65. Mr. JAMES MASONasked whether an insured person may receive full sickness benefit, and at the same time friendly society benefit where the two benefits together amount to a larger sum than his usual wages when in work?
§ Mr. MASTERMANYes, Sir. When the sickness benefit by itself exceeds two-thirds of the insured person's usual remuneration, his approved society have power, but are not required, to reduce the benefit. If they so reduce it they must 210 provide an additional benefit of an equivalent value.
