§ Lieut.-Commander Hutchisonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland, in how many cases have Pensions Appeal Tribunals in Scotland granted entitlement to a disability pension for a limited period in respect of the appellant having had his injury aggravated as a result of war service; in how many of these cases has the appellant been examined by a medical specialist in terms of Section 15 (2) of S.R. & O., No. 1495, s. 47; and in those cases where such examination was not carried out, upon what principle have the tribunals fixed the date upon which aggravation ceased.
2252W
Mr. JohnstonThe answer to the first part of the Question is 112 and to the second part 3. As regards the last part of the Question, I am advised that the principle followed is to continue the pension granted so long as in the judgment of the tribunal, which includes a medical member, the disability remains aggravated as the result of war service.
§ Lieut.-Commander Hutchisonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many appeals to Pensions Appeal Tribunals in Scotland in respect of injuries attributed to, or aggravated by, war service have been dismissed; and in how many of these cases have tribunals arranged for the appellant to be examined by a medical specialist in terms of Section 15 (2) of S.R. & O., 1940, No. 1495, s. 47.
