HC Deb 19 July 1922 vol 156 cc2090-1W
Mr. MILLS

asked the Minister of Pensions whether it is now decreed that a disabled man's claim is to be regarded as from the first period of disability in spite of the probability in many cases of men returning to duty many times, and whose condition has been aggravated by such service; and whether, in view of the feeling of resentment among public administering these cases, he will insert a new interpretation in the Royal Warrant?

Major TRYON

A man's eligibility for pension is not affected by his removal from duty on one or more occasions, except in so far as it may afford evidence of the existence of the disability, and thus help to establish connection between the disability and military service.
