Abstract

should be deprived of benefit from their husbands' war service. Interest at 3-50o compound, without tax relief, payable to secure war service pension compares very unfavourably with the miserable 210O simple-taxable-paid since 1948 on our compensation for loss of goodwill. A colleague of mine with six years of war service recently wrote to the appropriate department of the Ministry of Defence seeking confirmation of the dates of his war service. I understand th'at the reply was to the effect that "they had never heard of him." Reverting to the increase of pension of practitioners who retired between January 1969 and March 1972, I wrote to the Superannuation Department which deals with my pension in March 1975 and even at that late date they denied any knowledge of the proposed increase. Why are we waiting? K
