HC Deb 24 February 1969 vol 778 c203W
82. Mr. Dickens

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement on the application for a war pension made by Flight Lieutenant Cockayne, retired, of Polvron, Cornwall, details of which have been sent to him.

Mr. Pentland

We are not yet in a position to make a decision on Flight Lieutenant Cockayne's claim, which was submitted on 29th August, 1968. The medical questions are complex and there is a great deal of documentary evidence, much of it relating to the period since the officer left the R.A.F. in 1954, all of which must be carefully evaluated by the doctors and consultants concerned with the case.
