HC Deb 30 November 1982 vol 33 c130W
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. Rossi

Service 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.
