¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Minister, this week we commemorate our war heroes. Many were disabled due to the three-decade war and we must address all their issues. My first supplementary: Disabled war heroes who reached age 55 and appeared before Medical Boards have not yet received the fixed allowance consequent to the revision of their pensions due to delays in paying disability pensions.
