PARTICULARS OF THE AFFECTED CORPORAL:
Name: S.lazarus Ser.No: 228169 Rank: Cpl Trade: inst.Rep-II,
Date of joining:21-6-1959 Date of invalidment: 18-5-1968.
PPO.Nos: S/1258/69, D/BC/ 143/73 and AF/D/RA/325/2003.
During the Indo-Par war in 1965, the Pak.Air Force made Air raid on the Kalaikonda Airfield on 07-09-1965. In that strapping , our Cpl.Lazarus was hit by the bullets on his lower portion of spinal card..He was hospitalized for more than four months then was discharge on 18-5-1968 under the clause Medically boarded out with 20% disability pension.
As he was injured in a WAR operation, he should have been sanctioned with WAR INJURY PENSION, but he was sanctioned with normal pension like any other disability pensioner.
The injury was at the Spinal Card, he was not able to go for any other Re-employment and living at home with the meager amount of pension. He finds it very difficult in walking freely.
In this regard, he has made series of representations to Air Force Authorities for sanction of War Injury pension. The Air Force authorities have recommended to the CDA for WAR injury pension and but it was denied by quoting various clauses of pension rules.
We feel , it is a great injustice to the Air Force Corporal, as his complete life is paralyzed because of Air Force service.
Over and above, he is being paid less pension by the PDA, they are paying a basic pension of Rs.3583 instead of Rs.4202( 3500+702) from 1-1-2006. We have taken up the matter with PDA , Indian Bank Tuticorin and their Head office at Chennai to set right the discrepancy..
Dear Veteran brothers, please be watchful for such an in-justice and try to help our brethrens in whatever way we can.
