§ Mr. H. HOPEasked the Minister of Pensions whether a man suffering from discharge from the ears, contracted while serving in the Army, is considered as having a disability; and whether he is aware that an ear specialist serving on the Pensions Board, Adelphi Hotel, Glasgow, has passed a man nil-disability though suffering as described?
§ Major TRYONI am unable to reply to this question without fuller information. A man suffering from a disability attributable to or aggravated by his military service is eligible for an award of pension or gratuity according to the extent of his disablement. If the hon. Member will furnish me with particulars of the individual case which he has in mind, I will have inquiries made and will inform him of the result.
