pension pay‑day occurring after the date on which a copy of the Board's decision is given to the Commission under section 140;
 (c) if the substituted decision, or the varied decision, as the case may be, has the effect of altering the description or nature of the war‑caused injury or war‑caused disease from which a veteran is suffering, or the description or nature of the defence‑caused injury or defence‑caused disease from which a member of the Forces or a member of a Peacekeeping Force is suffering—the Board may fix, as the date as from which that alteration is to operate, such date, being the date on which its decision is made or an earlier or later date, as it determines is fair and reasonable in all the circumstances; or
