The photo was taken on 9-4-2010 when he called on for correction of his pension.
Now he expired on 29-3-2014.
PLIGHT OF WIDOWS OF WAR WOUNDED SOLDIERS.
Here is a pitiable case of
a widow of a War wounded
soldier.
One Sepoy Vanumamalai
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. Qualifying Service – 2yrs.
PPO,No; D/ 742/72, D/BC/ 6033/2003 and D/BC/IP/10723/2007
His Eligible monthly
pension.
Service Element
……………………………. . 5644.00 w.e.f 24-9-2012 (Cir 501)
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 Rs.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.
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.
The service element may be fixed as Basic pension.
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.
Where and how these widows, mostly illiterate will go and submit / express their grievances.

Our Welfare
Trust hopes that our sincere appeal all our ESM
organizations may bring some kind of
awareness among ourselves to come forward to help the war widows.
We have already
represented this to our Army Veteran cell and IESM and DIWAVE for taking up the matter for higher rate of
family pension for such war widows.
The War widow also has
represented to Pioneer Record Office for higher rate of pension..
Have already taken up case with MoD and SCOVA Dept of pensions & Pensioners Welfare as also with 7th CPC that the widow of a war disabled veteran who has been invalided out of service should be paid an enhanced pension taking into account service element plus disability element. Should be accepted shortly.
