Insert:
 (1A) However, a veteran who:
 (a) receives a notice under section 12 of the CTPA in respect of an aggravation of, or a material contribution to, an injury or disease; and
 (b) after receiving the notice, makes a claim under section 319 of the MRCA (or continues with a claim already made under that section) in respect of the aggravation or material contribution;
is not entitled to apply for an increase in the rate of the pension on the ground that the veteran's incapacity has increased because of that aggravation or material contribution.
Note: Under section 12 of the CTPA, a veteran who has a war‑caused or defence‑caused injury or disease that is aggravated or materially contributed to by service after the MRCA commencement date can choose whether the MRCA or the VEA will apply to the aggravated injury or disease.
