HC Deb 23 February 1922 vol 150 cc2124-5W
Mr. N. MACLEAN

asked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware that Edward Haggerty, late No. 16694, Royal Scots Fusiliers, has been refused a pension on the ground that the tribunal find no aggravation; that his discharge certificate states discharged having suffered impairment since entry into service; that this man served 4 years 12 days with the colours; and whether he is prepared to reconsider the claims of this ex-service man?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Pension was granted to this man until it was found that the aggravation by service of the accepted disability had passed away. The decision of the Ministry was confirmed on appeal by the Pensions Appeal Tribunal, and I have, therefore, no power to re-open the case.
