§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Pensions if he will review the case, details of which have been submitted to him, of a gunner driver in the R.A., who died in September, 1943, aged 24, in a military hospital after 16 days illness of a rare and obscure disease; seeing that this man joined the Army in September, 1939, when 20 years of age and graded A1, this 188W grade being renewed in March, 1943; that his wife's application for a pension has been refused and the refusal confirmed by the Pensions Appeals Tribunal on the ground that the death was not due to war service.
§ Sir W. WomersleyThe claim was rejected by an independent appeal tribunal set up under the Pensions Appeal Tribunals Act. Parliament decreed that such decisions should be final.
