Disability pensions payable to retired military personnel under the Army Pensions Acts are not comprehended by the definition of remuneration in section 1 of the recently-enacted Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act 2009 and, accordingly, are not subject to the (pension-related) deduction provided for in section 2 of that Act.
