§ 4. Major Sir BERTRAM FALLEasked the Minister of Pensions whether all naval ratings who were invalided with disabilities attributable to service in the Great War and who had over 10 years' service are in receipt of the service or disability pensions laid down in the scale published in reply to Item 15 of the 1919 Naval Welfare Requests?
Mr. ROBERTSAll continuous service men who were invalided during the War after 10 yearn consecutive service immediately prior to invaliding, and non-continuous service men and marines invalided after 14 years' service similarly rendered, and who are eligible for disablement pension in respect of a disability attributable to Great War service, receive in addition service allowances on the scale referred to.
§ Colonel ASHLEYAre we to understand that in cases where the pensioner dies, and money is due to him from the Department, that the widow, or whoever is entitled to the money, will get the money, and the Department will not allot the money as it thinks fit?
Mr. ROBERTSThis question refers to final weekly allowances, and, to that extent, the answer to the supplementary question is in the affirmative.
