Mr. DENNISSasked the Comptroller of the Household, as representing the National Health Insurance Commissioners, what arrangements have been made for the discontinuance of the disablement benefit under the National Health Insurance Act of seventy years of age, to be substituted in all cases by the full old age pension in accordance with the original intentions of the promoter of national health insurance?
§ Sir E. CORNWALLThe administration of old age pensions does not fall within the province of the Insurance Commissioners, but it does not necessarily follow that a person in receipt of disablement benefit under the National Health Insurance Acts is entitled at the age of seventy to a full old age pension. The usual statutory conditions in this connection apply in each case.
