WHAT IS INVALID PENSION ?
An individual after 10 years of qualifying service or more but less than 15 years of service in invalided out of service and the percentage of disablement is less than 20%, the individual will be granted INVALID PENSION.
Similarly, the individual with qualifying service 10 years or more but less than 15 years and invalided out of service on low medical category and where the disability is neither attributable nor aggravated by military service, shall also be granted INVALID PENSION.
The invalid pension thus granted shall not be less than the minimum pension which is Rs.3500 w.e.f. 01.01.2006. However, an individual invalided out after 14.5 years of qualifying service will get around Rs.4217 p.m.. But this amount of pension is to be fixed by the PSA on the basis of Annexure ‘A’ submitted by the individual. It is therefore, very important that all those who are invalided out in less than 15 years of service are to submit Annexure ‘A’ through their PDA to get revised pension between Rs.3500 to Rs.4250 proportionate to their service.
(Where service is 10 years or more and disability pension claim is rejected being disability neither attributable to nor aggravated by military service, Invalid Pension is granted, which is equivalent to service element of disability pension.)
It is very good information to all invalided veterans. Thank you sir.
