HC Deb 25 March 1919 vol 114 c239W
Major NEWMAN

asked the Pensions Minister why the mother of Private L. G. Timbs, No. 62026, 53rd Battalion, King's Royal Rifle Corps, has not received a dependant's allowance in respect of her son, who joined for service on 8th August, 1918, and has since that date made a voluntary deduction of 3s. 6d. weekly from his pay in her favour?

Mr. FORSTER

Mrs. Timbs has been in receipt of a provisional allowance of 3s. 6d. a week from Army funds, not recovered from her son's pay. His claim appears to have been mislaid (not in the War Department). A duplicate is being obtained, and when the dependence has been assessed, payment will be made as from date of enlistment.
