§ Mr. MarquandThe number of disability pensioners from the 1914–18 war is approximately 335,000. Of these, nearly 8,000 receive the unemployability supplement and about 2,000 have been granted the special allowance payable to partially disabled pensioners who have to take up less well paid employment because of their war disablement.
