HC Deb 05 December 1922 vol 159 cc1519-20W
Mr. HANCOCK

asked the Minister of Pensions why the weekly pension of 12s. 6d. has been reduced to 8s. in the case of Private Oscar W. Greensmith, No. 42,335, Lincoln Regiment, who is seriously disabled by wounds received in the War; and will he take steps to guarantee the minimum of 10s. per week in such case?

Major TRYON

This man is suffering from an injury to his hand, disablement from which is considered to be equal to the loss of two fingers and has been assessed at 20 per cent. A final award at that rate has been made. The man has the usual right of appeal to the independent Appeal Tribunal.
