HC Deb 02 November 1945 vol 415 c876W
Lieut.-Colonel Byers

asked the Minister of Pensions whether he will consider making to men drawing 100 per cent. disability pension a rent allowance on the scale of that allowed to widows and children.

A seriously disabled pensioner who is unemployable already receives a special supplement up to 20s. a week, together with allowances for his wife and children. If he is employed he receives his full pension in addition to wages. I do not think that a special provision on the lines suggested by the hon. and gallant Member would be justified.
