Veteran Thirupathy with his articial limb on his hand.
GREAT INJUSTICE TO ONE
MORE WAR INJURED PENSIONER.
One Ex.Ts.Nk came to our
Trust office and complained that he was not being paid the correct Rate of
disability pension.
Name:Tirupathy
Rajaram Rank: Ts.Nk No: 6462218
Qly.Ser.:15 yrs.
PPO.Nos: S/ 102256/1987
AND S/CORR/4263/2002.
PDA: Central Bank of
india, Kovilpatti, Tuticorin –Dist, TN.
On going through the
available papers, we noticed that he was wounded while on duty in Proximity to
the enemy due to mine blast on 1-3-1980 and it was classified as Battle causality
vide part II order No.73/15/1982
We also came to know that
his Right foot Below ankle was amputated and was using artificial limb.
In spite of all the above,
he was sanctioned with normal Disability element of 50% as attributable to
military service.
He is falling under
Category E of para 4.1 of GOI, MOD
letter No. 1 (2)/97/ D (Pen-C) dated 31-1-2001. Hence eligible for a WAR injury
pension but being sanctioned with normal disability pension.
It is a great injustice meted out to a veteran.
The innocent veteran was
not aware of his eligibility and drawing his normal disability that too not
properly being paid. Instead of 1755 , he was being paid 1404/-
We have now taken up the matter with MRC Record office and
PCDA for consideration.
The poor veteran was
very much pleased with our findings and action and expressed his sincere
gratitude to our Welfare Trust for this timely help.
