§ Mr. GROVESasked the Minister of Pensions if he is aware that B. T. Norris, No. 11/M/422,094, of 23, Chapel Street, Stratford, is completely incapacitated through war service; and whether he will state the degree of pension now payable?
§ Major TRYONMr. Norris was medically examined on behalf of the Ministry as recently as last month and was found to be suffering only very slight disablement through war service. He is not now in receipt of any pension, as the assessment of his disability is below the pen-sionable minimum. I am aware, however, that he is unfortunately suffering from another disability which has been decided to be unconnected with his war service. This view has been confirmed on appeal by the Pensions Appeal Tribunal, whose decision is final.
§ Mr. GROVESasked the Minister of Pensions if he will re-examine the case of G. Allen, of 52, Fairland Road, Stratford, 11/M/450,574, and recommend the payment of a disability allowance?
§ Major TRYONMr. Allen's first application in respect of a condition which he described as high blood pressure was made more than 12 years after the termination of his military service. He submitted practically no evidence in support of his application, but the notification of rejection sent in September, 1931, informed him that, if further evidence became available, it was open to him to resubmit his case. Should material evidence be produced, the case will be further considered.
§ Mr. GROVESasked the Minister of Pensions if he will re-examine the case of W. H. Mailes, of Maiden Road, Strat- 509W ford, and recommend institutional treatment?
§ Major TRYONMr. Mailes does not appear to have applied to the Ministry for treatment since 1925. If he considers that he now requires treatment for the disability in respect of which compensation is in payment, he should make application to the Area Office of the Ministry at 70–74, City Road, E.C.1.
