HC Deb 19 November 1918 vol 110 cc3350-1W
Mr. FARRELL

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether, in the case of old age pensioners who have been deprived of pensions in Ireland by questions raised by the pension officers in 1917 and 1918, any steps will be taken to reconsider such cases with a view to restoring the pensions in such cases, especially where doubts as to age were the cause of the stoppage of such pensions?

Mr. BALDWIN

If in any case a person whose old age pension has been revoked considers that he is now entitled to a pension, it is open to him to prefer a claim in the usual way, and, if dissatisfied with the local pension committee's decision on the claim, he can appeal to the Local Government Board.
