SEP.VM.KANDAN COMPLAINING TO OUR LIAISON OFFICER
SGT.S.KANTHIAH REGARDING NON REVISON OF HIS PENSION
IN JUNE 2010 AT OUR TRUST OFFICE. ALAS, NOW HE IS NO MORE.
PLIGHT OF A WIDOWS OF WAR
WOUNDED SOLDIER.
Here is a pitiable case of
a widow of a War wounded
soldier.
One Sepoy Vanumamali
Kandan( 8002935) from Pioneer Records
was wounded during Chinese
aggression in the year 1962. He lost his right Hand. He was sanctioned with 100% war injury
pension with constant Attended Allowance. PPO,Nos; D/1683/1964, D/742/1972,, D/BC/6033/2002
AND
D/ BC/ IP/10723/2007.
His monthly Eligible pension:.
Service Element
…………………………….. 5644.00 w.e.f 24-9-2012
( Taken as full service of 20Yrs)
( Taken as full service of 20Yrs)
War injury Element 100%............. ... 9200.00
as per CDA cir 456.
14844.00
DA at 90%..for 14844…………….. 13360.00
Constant Attendance
Allowance… 3000.00
Total monthly
pension ………… ……. 31204.00
Now the pensioner died on 29-3-2014.
As per Joint notification,
D/ JN/ 361/2004, his wife is sanctioned
with the minimum pension of Rs1275/ and applicable DA. As on date she is eligible for BP 3500/ -and with DA at 90% 3150
Total of Rs.6650/- per month.
See the difference between 31204 and 6650/-, a difference of Rs.24554/ - per month.
The poor widow is eligible
for this Rs.6650 only from 30-2-2014. A sudden reduction of pension from 31204
to 6650/-.
Is it not a great INJUSTICE ? . At least ,
such widows may be sanctioned with Special Family pension or some other formula by which the widows may
be able to adjust but not this much 400
% less.
At least the Service element
of the veteran at the time of death may
be fixed as basic pension for the widow.
All our Ex-servicemen
organizations are requested to view such
cases seriously and project to authorities concerned to remove this Himalayan difference in
pension and help the pitiable conditions
of the innocent widows. At least the
Qualifying Service is to be taken as
full service for determining the family
pension for War injury pensioners.
Where and how these widows, mostly illiterate will go and submit / express their grievances.
Our Welfare Trust hope that our sincere appeal all our ESM
organizations may bring some kind of awareness among ourselves to come forward
to help such war widows.
