The degree / percentage of Disability is decided by Military Medical board .
If the percentage falls below 20%, no disability pension.
If more thaqn 20% , it may be sanctioned for a certain period, say 5 to 10 years and
then the veteran has to appear for Re- Medical . During Re-Medical , his condition
