WAR PENSIONS APPEALS.
BOARD’S OPERATIONS. (P-ejr Press Association.} WELLINGTON. April 4. Sir Heaton Rhodes, Alinister ill charge of the War Pensions Department, stated to-day that it has been decided to suspend the sittings of the War Pensions Medical Appeal Board as from May 31. The board was set up in June, 1921. to hear appeals against the decision of the Pensions Board in regard to amount of pensions and whether the disability from which the appellant was suffering was attributable to war service. The board at present consists of one permanent member, with ‘whom sit two other medical appointees iu various centres. It. lias been found, however, that the number of appeals to be dealt with does not justify the permanency of the board. Hence the present decision to suspend its operations. No appeals will be received after May 15.
