HC Deb 26 May 1919 vol 116 c864W
Major-Sir B. FALLE

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if he is aware that men of the Royal Navy who have completed time for pension but are also receiving disability pension are not paid their service pension; and if he will see into this matter as soon as possible?

Dr. MACNAMARA

In the past men invalided for a cause attributable to the Service after completing time for pension received a disablement pension, with additions for service, good conduct badges, or medals and service in chief petty, petty, or leading ratings. In no case was this less than the Service pension. Under a recent decision all men who have completed time for pension will receive their Service pension plus the disablement pension appropriate to the certified degree of disablement, and steps are being taken to make the necessary adjustments as soon as practicable.
