The Hon. (Mrs.) Rohini Kumari Wijerathna
Rohini Kumari Wijerathna raised a supplementary question during war heroes’ commemorations regarding disabled veterans from the three-decade war. She asked what immediate steps would be taken to pay the fixed allowance owed to disabled war heroes over age 55 who appeared before Medical Boards but have not received it due to delays in disability pension payments.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 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. What immediate steps will you take?
