HC Deb 11 March 1947 vol 434 c1109
2. Sir R. Young

asked the Minister of National Insurance whether he is aware that an ex-Serviceman receiving an 80 per cent. disability pension amounting to 36s. per week, was paid, when off work through sickness, 6s. 9d. per week, and was told by his approved society that after two years he would be entitled to 9s. per week; and whether these amounts are general in all such cases.

Mr. J. Griffiths

The answer to the last part of the Question is "No, Sir." But I could not comment on the individual case without more detailed information. If my hon. Friend will let me have identifying particulars, I will have inquiries made and let him know the position. In the meantime, I am sending him a copy of a leaflet setting out the special conditions which apply under the present Health Insurance Scheme to persons in receipt of war disability pensions.

Mr. Stephen

Would the right hon. Gentleman send me a note of that?

Mr. Griffiths

Certainly, Sir.
