§ Major COHENI beg leave to present to this honourable House a National Petition signed by 824,105 of His Majesty's subjects. The Petition relates to what are usually known as the "Seven Years' Limit" and "Final Awards." Your petitioners humbly pray that:
(1) The time limit imposed in the Royal Warrants should be entirely abolished for officers, men, widows, and dependants.(2) Officers and men should have the right of appealing to an independent tribunal in cases where the Ministry refuse to grant further compensation after a final allowance, and the claimant can produce medical evidence that the disability has reasserted itself or become worse.
