Guest degsy Posted 31 December , 2005 Share Posted 31 December , 2005 Is it possible that a soldier injured in the WW1 and then discharged as unfit, would receive a pension if he he was a single man and had no dependents Degsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Saunders Posted 31 December , 2005 Share Posted 31 December , 2005 I can think of at least one individual that was single (aged about 21) who was marked by a medical board as due for a full disability pension. Had he not died from this wound around the time of the Armistice then I dont know how long the Gvmt would have continued paying him a pension as he had other family living.

Terry_Reeves Posted 31 December , 2005 Share Posted 31 December , 2005 (edited) Pensions for permanent disabilty are laid out in the Pay Warrant - articles 1162 to 1164. The rules were fairly complex, but in essence were based on whether a man was partially capable of earning a livelihood or totally incapable of earning a livelihood, and not on any dependents or marital status.
