ATTENTION VETERAN BROTHERS SERIES-25

What is   LIBERALISED DISABILITY PENSION- VETERANS TO KNOW

- 

Clarification sought from all the sources. 

 How to identify / classify the  Liberalsied Disability pension.

In all our CDA circulars of casualty awards like 456,542,562  and so on, this Liberalsied Pension is mentioned.   But, we have not come across  any LDP  so far.

We know that  Disability pension is indicate by :   D/ 13/ yr,  DE/ 13/ yr,

D/BC/ 123/ yr,  F/BC/ 123/ yr .

For War injury pension:    D/ BC/ 123/ yr  and   F / BC/ 1213/ yr.

No special / separate  indication for Liberalised Disability pension  is available,

On going through the Pension Rules for Army  1961 and 2008, 

Rule No.82,  90, and 104-   , we understand that,

The cases falling under  Disability Category  “ D “ . Rule-82,   the war injured person  will be classified as Battle Casualty – D/BC  but will be sanctioned  with normal Disability pension-  

Note:

Here, the total of Service Element  plus  Disability element  shall not be  less than 80% of  minimum emolument of  the Rank and Group of pensioner.

Qualifying service will be taken as if he has served for full term.

To  overcome this difficulty in identifying such  LDP pensioner,  we suggest that a separate  PPO number may be allotted   , say  D/  LDE / 123/ yrs  etc.

Now as per  the New system of 16 Digits      PPO no.--suffix  no . 
Example: Army -MEG   1 54 2001 01234-  0300   LDE  Relese case
                                  1 54 2001 01234-  2200   LDE  Invalided case.

There may be some veterans drawing normal disability element with PPO number

  D/ BC.    If any, they can claim for  LIBERALISED DISABILITY  ELEMENT  under this clause.    Will be benefited.

All our  ESM associations , Organisations may please guide the affected veterans.
