ILL FATE OF A PRE-1973 DISABLED VETERAN.
We had posted an Article on
November 26th of 2014 regarding
restoration of Service Element to Pre-1973 retirees as per CDA cir 527.
The first and the only one
veteran Sepoy PRIS Jeyaharan came to our Trust for a help in this regard.
NAME: PRIS.JEYAHARAN
RANK: SEPOY Regt.No: 6647011
RECORD OFFICE: ASC(S)
We extended all the helps in
preparing the required documents and
guided him to forward it to his RO –ASC.
Record Office raised so many
queries and we replied and after about 2 yrs of correspondences ,
the veteran is sanctioned with SERVICE ELEMENT
of minimum pension with effect
from 30-4-1983 vide PPO: D/Corr/0819/2016
The PPO was sent to
Treasury Office, they in turn forwarded
to his PDA, State Bank of India
. The branch transmitted
the same to their CPPC at Chennai for further action.
Likewise this THAMASA went of
for more than 6 months. No action taken so far.
ALAS: NOW THE
INNOCENT VETERAN DIED LAST MONTH- (MAY 2017 )
without receiving his pension and arrears..
When we calculated the
arrears from May 1983 till now , it works out to be about 10Lacs plus.
WHAT A PITIABLE SITUATION.
The poor veteran died with out receiving his
sanctioned pension and he could not enjoy the fruit of a Huge amount of Arrears
in his life time.
The main reason for such a
delay is –the policy making, decision making and implementation. It has taken
33yrs for the Government to decide for restoration of Service Element to
such disabled soldiers.( Cir 527).
ANOTHER PATHETIC POINT TO NOTE
There is no Joint
notification in favour of his wife.
Now the arrears to be claimed by NOK / Legal heirs and his
wife has to ESTABLISH the genuineness of her WIDOWHOOD.
The process to claim / sanction family pension may take
another a year.
THIS IS THE FATE OF OUR VETERANS AFFAIRS.
Dear veteran brothers,
Please study this case and
try to help your fellow veterans and families in your areas in what ever way
you can and it will be of a great
service and blessings.
FIRST CASE OF ONE PRE-1973 DISABILITY VETERAN HELPED.
Posted on 26-11-2014
Veteran Jayaharan (Right side) with our Liaison Officer Sgt.S.Kanthiah at our Trust office
FIRST CASE OF PRE-1973 DISABILITY VETERAN
We had displayed a Notice board at our CSD canteen
and ECHS regarding the Benefit for the
Pre-1973 disability pensioners as per CDA cir 527.
Those who were Invalided out with less than 10 yrs of
service with 20%
Disability element
and later on due the Disability
Element fell below 20% the disability was stopped and as the qualifying service was less than
10 yrs, the service Element also stopped.
For such people, the Government has now considered
to sanction Service element as
per CDA cir 527. For that they have to apply to their Record office.
One affected veteran called on us and we guided him. He has now received a set of
Forms from Record office. Again we
assisted him in filling up the forms giving various particulars and
guided him to forward it through
Sainik Board to his Record Office.
Name: PR Immanuel S.Jayaharan Rank: Sepoy
(6647011) RO: ASC –South
PPO: D/ RA/ 6171/71
PDA: Sub-Treasury Tenkasi, Tirunelveli-Dist. Tamil Nadu.
The veteran was very happy with our service and thanked
us for such a help and guidance.
Such cruel behavior from the side of PDA/PSA is an Example How the soldiers are treated after discharge from service,He/His family has to run from Pillar to post for what is legitimately due to him- Mera Bharat Mahan
