HC Deb 27 February 1922 vol 151 c55W
Sir G. COLLINS

asked the Minister of Pensions if his attention has been drawn to the case of Mr. James M'Geacher, of 66, Vennell, Greenock, late No. 18,385, Royal Dublin Fusiliers, whose pension has been reduced to 14s. 6d. per week; and will he make inquiries into the matter?

Mr. MACPHERSON

The present award is in accordance with the assessment of less than 20 per cent, given by a medical board last August, and subsequently confirmed by a Medical Appeal Board. If the man claims that his condition has become worse since he was last examined, he may apply for reconsideration of his case through his local committee, but at present there are no grounds for revising the award made.
