How will my war pension , damaged hips, be affected if I have hip replacement.
Hi,
first of all this is my first post so hi to all members.
My question, above, has been nagging me for some time. I'm in my early sixties and have retired. Would my war pension be reduced because my condition would have improved or not?
Also are war pensions for life?
Thanks in advance.

The simple answer is if your condition changes you have to inform the Veteran's agency. You will be subject to another medical and if the % of disabilty has changed , so will your pension. The other side, which hopefully won't happen to you, is that the operation may make things worse. Either way it may affect your pension. Phone your already assigned Veteran's Welfare Officer for advice.

What percentage are you on now and what does your own doctor say will be the improvement in your condition after the op?
Oh and war pensions are paid until you snuff it, nothing for dependents/widows etc after you're gone.-------------------------------------------------------------

Unless the death is attributable to the condition for which the War Pension is paid. Originally Posted by Steven

Yep sorry, forgot about that bit. Extremely unlikely to happen in my case so I tend to forget that bit.. Originally Posted by phoenix04
