Disability Benefit to Defence Personnel : Written reply by AK Antony at LS

Disability Benefit to Defence Personnel : Written reply by AK Antony at LS Armed Forces personnel who are retained in service despite the disability held attributable to or aggravated by military service are entitled to lumpsum compensation of disability / war injury element at the time of disability. Those who do not opt for the retention are entitled to disability pension / war injury pension on retirement / discharge. No disability pension / war injury pension is admissible on retirement / discharge once the lumpsum compensation has been obtained by the personnel. The primary factor for awarding disability benefit to disabled personnel is the establishment of a causal connection between disablement and military service by the Competent Authority. Accidents during the journey from duty station to leave station and vice-versa are also generally considered attributable to military service.

This information was given by Defence Minister Shri AK Antony in a written reply to Shri PC Gaddigoudarin Lok Sabha today.
