HC Deb 27 August 1914 vol 66 c190W
Mr. CASSEL

asked the hon. Member for St. George's-in-the-East, as representing the Insurance Commissioners, whether Reservists and Territorials who were employed contributors before the War and are disabled in the War will be entitled to disablement benefit in addition to any pension or other allowance?

Mr. WEDGWOOD BENN

Any Reservist or Territorial who was insured under the National Insurance Acts immediately before being called up will, after discharge, be entitled to sickness and disablement benefit subject to the ordinary conditions applicable to insured persons generally, and will not be disqualified for such benefit by reason of the fact that his incapacity arose out of his military service or that he may have been granted a pension or other allowance from some other source.
