HC Deb 03 February 1948 vol 446 cc250-1W
31. Mr. P. Roberts

asked the Minister of Pensions why the disability pension of Mr. A. T. Harrap, 127, Cemetery Road, Sheffield, was discontinued with effect from 13th November, 1947, when he was not fully recovered from this disability.

Mr. Buchanan

There is a prewar history of the disability, and such aggravation as occurred during Mr. Harrap's nine months' service in 1940 was certified to have passed away in November last, when a medical board found that the disablement was very slight and no worse than it would have been if Mr. Harrap had not served in the Army. As stated in the explanatory letter sent to the hon. Member on 31st December, Mr. Harrap has the right of appeal to the Pensions Appeal Tribunal against my decision.
