rolt968 Posted 15 July , 2018 Share Posted 15 July , 2018 This is from a form A46 (concerned with pension applications) sent to the CO of "2 York & Lancaster". It is not dated, but I think about the end of 1908 or beginning of 1909. The figure in the left hadn column is the pension awarded in pence. All the others on the page were rejected. The man concerned was discharged with "Valvular disease of the heart". He was awarded 6d for twelve months, but 6d per what? Per day? RM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilH Posted 15 July , 2018 Share Posted 15 July , 2018 My grandfathers pension when he was discharged in 1917 was per week if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolt968 Posted 15 July , 2018 Author Share Posted 15 July , 2018 Thank you. I had tended to think it might be 6d a week. 6d a day in the days of "shilling a day" men seemed generous for a private who had only served three and a half years. The entries I have seen in WFA pension records are per week, but do say that. RM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss002d6252 Posted 15 July , 2018 Share Posted 15 July , 2018 (edited) In 1900 a Private was paid 6d per day or more in disability pension. Craig Edited 15 July , 2018 by ss002d6252 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Thanks Craig, That is very useful. Presumably it would apply to heart disease apparently attributable or partly attributable to service which resulted in discharge following service in India a few years later.
