VETERANS’ ALLOWANCES.
Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Jan. 28. A decision was made recently whereby persons in receipt of allowances under the War Veterans Allowances Act were to l>e ineligible for unemployment relief benefits under the Employment Promotion Act as from the end of January, from which date they wold revert to the full war veterans’ allowance. As this decision resulted in many of those concerned being without income from the last week in January until tho date of the monthly pensions payment at the full rate late in February, the Minister of Labour (Hon. 11. T. Armstrong) has now authorised the granting of reduced unemployment relief payments at the maximum rate of 10s a week for single men and 15s a week for married men for each of the four weeks in February. These are the maximum rates which may be paid without adversely affecting the recipients veterans’ allowance.
