The special allowance under the Army Pensions Acts of the person to whom the Deputy refers, was terminated with effect as from 6th January, 1961, following the grant of a contributory old age pension at the rate of £3 8s. 6d. per week to him only £1 11s. 0d. of which may be ignored in the assessing of means for special allowance purposes. This resulted in his means exceeding the appropriate annual sum.
