IMPERIAL PENSIONS.
GRANTS FOR DISABILITIES. LODGMENT OF CLAIM CONCLUSION DATE APPROACHING. (Special to Times.) WELLINGTON, Monday. An official communication the Commissioner of Pensions (Mr G. O. Facile) has received from the British Ministry of Pensions draws the attention of former members of the Imperial Forces now resident in New Zealand to the approaching conclusion of the period during which, under the War Pensions Act, 1921, the Ministry is empowered to grant pensions in respect to disability. The circular reads: “Claims by officers, nurses, non-commissioned officers and men to any Imperial pension, grant, gratuity, or allowance in respect of disablement incurred in the Great War (including claims by pensioners for additional disabilities), can only be considered if made within seven years after the date of discharge, or within seven years after the termination of the war (August 31, 1921), whichever dale is the earlier."
Claims for any class of Great War Pension and other relevant communication should he addressed to the Commissioner of Pensions, Wellington.
