§ 39. Mr. HALLSasked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware that ex-Private S. Dennerley, No. 33,926, who is 1249 disabled and on a 30 per cent. pension, has been under treatment in the Royal Eye Hospital, Manchester, and had a piece of shrapnel removed, since when he has been before the local pensions committee and sent to a medical board at Bolton, but has since been informed that the pensions authority require a report from the doctor at the hospital, for which a charge of £3 3s. is made; and, as this disabled soldier is out of work, will he see that the report of the doctor concerned is obtained, and ensure that Dennerley gets fair consideration?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of PENSIONS (Major Tryon)I am glad to be able to inform my hon. Friend that the case referred to has now been satisfactorily settled in the claimant's favour.
