baorbrat Posted 16 May , 2008 Share Posted 16 May , 2008 Could a pension once awarded be stopped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heid the Ba Posted 16 May , 2008 Share Posted 16 May , 2008 I don't see why not; it could be found that the pension should never have been awarded, or that the pension was correctly awarded but the recipent was no longer entitled. Is there a prticular set of circumstances here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a prticular set of circumstances here? Brain Storming. I can't seem to find my Grandad's service record. Mel,(on the forum) is also looking. Grandad, Geroge Anderson, GNR 217711 RA. Volunteered in 1917. Survived the war, I have his medals. He, at the moment doesnt seem to have a service record. At the time of his death, 1944. He didnt have a pension. I was wondering though, is a look in the pension records worth the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyhound Posted 16 May , 2008 Share Posted 16 May , 2008 Yes! Because they aren't all records of men who got pensions, they are just a random sample that were being used at the Ministry of Pensions (to do some sort of survey, I guess). There are LOTS of pensionless people in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mts Posted 16 May , 2008 Share Posted 16 May , 2008 Hi Peter Is it possible he could have been an officer or in the second world war. In both service records and pension records nothing seems to tally to say that it's him, I'm still looking to see if he's in someone else's file Mel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

centurion Posted 16 May , 2008 Share Posted 16 May , 2008 Many pension awards were made for a specified period and not for life and were intended to allow a soldier recovering from wounds or sickness time to find himself a job back in civie street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBI Posted 16 May , 2008 Share Posted 16 May , 2008 Some Men Decided upon taking a Lump Sum Payment instead of a Pension,or in many cases the Pension was only awarded for a Certain Time Period then Stopped.Another Scenario could have been that He was Re Examined by a Medical Board and found to be Fully Fit/Recovered and the Pension Stopped.
