HC Deb 02 July 1924 vol 175 cc1337-8W
Mr. HARMSWORTH

asked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware that Mr. J. W. Miller, of 6, Abbott's Hill, Ramsgate, late sergeant, Royal Field Artillery, No. 23,740, who was finally assessed in July of last year at 15 per cent. to 19 per cent. disability, is now considered locally to suffer from disabilities approximating to 40 per cent. or 50 per cent. disability; and whether, in view of new evidence available, he will cause the case to be reconsidered?

Mr. MUIR

In the case referred to, the present condition of the man is no doubt affected by an injury which he sustained it, November, 1922. The Ministry have rot been able to accept this further injury as due to the man's War service, and an appeal against their decision is now being made to the appeal tribunal.
