§ Sir GODFREY COLLINSasked the Minister of Pensions if he is aware that Private William Armour, No. 2288, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, at present residing at 13, Bearhope Street, Greenock, has had his pension reduced to 40 per cent; is he aware that Private Armour's disablement, a severe gunshot wound in the chest, prevents him from following his usual occupation; and will he cause full inquiries to be made regarding this matter?
§ Major TRY0NThe examining medical Boards of April, 1921, and May, 1922, both assessed the degree of disablement at 40 per cent, and pension at that rate has been in payment since July, 1921. If, however, the condition of the disability has grown materially worse since the last medical board, it is open to the man to 1067W make application on that ground for increased pension through the local office of the Ministry at Greenock.
