§ Sir H. CAYZERasked the Minister of Pensions whether ha will consider the possibility of giving an officer in receipt of a wounds pension the right to appeal 1994W when his disablement has been assessed as not equivalent to the loss of a limb?
§ Major TRYONWound pensions are outside the scheme of final awards and the statutory Final Awards Regulations. They are in the nature of exceptional provision for a particular type of disability not determined by the general scale of assessment for disablement. Wound pensions, like wound gratuities, are administered, not under Ministry Warrants, but under Regulations common to the Service Departments and the Ministry of Pensions, and appeals are most carefully considered by a Central Board, which includes eminent surgeons.
