Matlock1418 Posted 16 October , 2021 Share Posted 16 October , 2021 (edited) This entry from the back of a Pension Ledger Index Card [PLIC] for a single former soldier claiming a disability pension for Confusional Insanity and apparently admitted/in an asylum/mental hospital as a Service Patient in 1920 and still there 21.2.1921. He was considered 100% disabled whilst in the asylum/mental hospital. Another annotation on the front of the PLIC shows he later died 9/8/22 = Pte. John COUPLAND, 634419, Labour Corps [ex-Lincolnshire Regt .,330] Image courtesy of WFA/Fold3 https://www.fold3.com/image/644589395 1] = What is this entry for? [What is it an abbreviation for?] 2] = He was clearly continuing to be in the asylum/mental hospital at that date of entry - What implications for his pension claim whilst admitted/after this entry? :-) M Edited 16 October , 2021 by Matlock1418 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ss002d6252 Posted 24 October , 2021 Share Posted 24 October , 2021 Conditional List BooK 7 series Asylum Usually used for conditional pensions but presumably used for other cases as well. It seems they continued to receive the pension, from what I can tell. Originally the pension was lowered by the cost of care but this was stopped in most cases for policy reasons.

Thank you - no doubt policy for political reasons.! ;-) Always interested in your source(s) Was it subject to parliamentary debate then? - Perhaps in Hansard? :-) M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
