§ Mr. R. MORRISONasked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware that Mrs. Pettit, 54a, Lorenco Road, Tottenham, widow of the late Private George Pettit, No. 56,091 case No. 11/W/17,188), has been refused a pension on the ground that her late husband's death was not due to his War service; whether he is aware that the insurance company has refused to pay a claim of£28 on the ground that Pettit's death was due to War service; and, in view of the direct contradiction of these two statements, whether he will have this case reconsidered?
§ Major TRYONThis case has been very carefully considered in the light of all the evidence obtainable, but I regret that it has not been found possible to admit entitlement to pension. The widow has a statutory right of appeal against that decision to the Pensions Appeal Tribunal, and she has been so informed.
