§ Colonel ENGLANDasked the Minister of Pensions how many cases there are in which ex-service men were granted permanent pensions as stated on the official pension forms supplied to them, but who were subsequently deprived of such pensions on the reconsideration of their cases?
§ Major TRYONThe only cases in which such a pension could be cancelled would be either, on the one hand, as provided by the Royal Warrants and Regulations, that it was found to have been obtained by fraud or misrepresentation or awarded on error of fact (in each of which cases there would be a right of appeal to the independent Appeal Tribunal), or, on the other hand, where on appeal by the man the final award of pension had been reduced to one of compensation at less than pension rate.
