War Pension, Incapacity etc etc

thanks for the replies ,, changes are just a nitemare

Why do they have to make it so bloomin complicated! (rhetorical)

To put people off claiming

Further to this post , I applied for my preserved pension about 3 years ago and was turned down.

I was told there was no appeal.

I have been on incapacity since 2005 and 2000 i was medical retired from the royal mail as unfit for any work.

Do you think i could try again for it.

I dont suppose it would be much i did 8 yr in the Navy.

There is an easy answer to yourt rhetorical question ... pre 6 April 2005 war pensions have some very old regulations going back years and years

for example carers allowance from the DWP allows the person to earn £100 per week

where as an allownace like that for WP people was till not that long ago worked out in shillings and is still only about £45 A week
