asked the Minister for Defence if he will state the number of application forms for military service pensions issued in January, February, March, April, May, June, July and August, of 1943; the number refused in each month above, and the grounds upon which forms were issued to some applicants and refused to others during the same period.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Military Service Pension Forms.
It is not possible from the records in my Department to state the number of application forms for military service pensions issued in each month during the period from January, 1943, to August, 1943, inclusive, but as far as can be ascertained forms were issued in every case in which application was made prior to the closing date, viz., 16th July, 1943. If, however, the Deputy will furnish me with particulars of any case or cases in which application was made, but in which forms were not issued prior to that date, I will have inquiries made in the matter.
Is it not a fact that, in the months of June, July and the first week of August, forms of application were issued in some cases?
Not after the 16th July, 1943.
