531W
§ Miss WiddecombeThe full terms of the war pensions scheme are to be found in the Department's publication "War Pensions. The Statutes, Regulations, Rules and Orders as now in Force" a copy of which is available in the Library. The scheme provides for pensions where the disablement or death of a member of the armed forces is due to service; there are similar provisions for other groups such as members of the Merchant Navy. Allied provisions for members of the armed forces form part of the occupational pension scheme which is administered by the Ministry of Defence.
