69. Mr. Ron Brown(Leith) asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many Service men who served in the Falklands conflict now qualify for a war disablement pension.
§ Mr. RossiService men are not eligible for a war pension until their service has been terminated. So far one Service man has been medically discharged as a result of injuries sustained in the Falklands conflict and he has been awarded a war pension. One other claim, from a Service man whose period of engagement has been completed, is currently under consideration.
