HC Deb 22 June 1921 vol 143 cc1366-7
92. Mr. G. BARNES

asked the Minister of Pensions if he is aware that Mrs. J. E. Towell, widow of the late J. E. Towell, No. 282,257, third clerk, Royal Air Force, has been refused the allowance awarded to her late husband who was medically certified as entitled to the same in August last, but who died before the Medical Board could confirm the result of the domiciliary visit, and that Article 9 of the Regulations provide for such cases; and will he have the case reopened with a view to the widow being given the benefit which appears to be her due?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of PENSIONS (Major Tryon)

An award of disablement pension has now been authorised with effect from 15th April, 1920, to the date of death, less treatment allowances paid during that period.
