This application for a disability pension has been referred to the Army Pensions Board, which is the statutory body appointed under the Army Pensions Acts to investigate and report on such applications. When the board has completed its consideration of the case and reported to my Department, the matter will be dealt with promptly and the applicant will be notified of the outcome without delay.
