Story in the newspaper

Note: According to the story of Private Samuel Charles Boon, of Eskdale, near Tallangatta, he has been refused a war pension on the ground that he was medically unfit when he was accepted for active service. He is endeavouring to bring his case under the personal notice of Mr. W M. Hughes, the Prime Minister. According to the story of Private Samuel Charles Boon, of Eskdale, near Tallangatta, he has been refused a war pension on the ground that he was medically unfit when he was accepted for active service. He is endeavouring to bring his case under the personal notice of Mr. W M. Hughes, the Prime Minister. Boon's certificate of discharge, which is good, shows that he has 419 days service to his credit, 212 of these being spent abroad. 'I never reached the trenches,' he said, 'as I was ill on board ship and went into hospital on arrival in England from Australia. Finally, I was returned to Australia, and discharged. I applied for a pension, as I have since been unable to do any work, but it was refused on the ground that I was unfit when I enlisted, though I passed all tests. I was able to do farm labourer's work before the war, I attribute my ill-health solely to the conditions under which I had to live in the Seymour camp. It broke up my health. All I have received is £5 from the State War Council.' The Border Morning Mail and Riverina Times (Albury, NSW : 1903 - 1920) Wednesday 6 March 1918 Mr. J. E. Collins, Pensions Commissioner, states that a Medical Board in England on September 7, 1916, reported that the soldier's condition was due to injury, as the result of a horse faffing on him three years previously in Victoria before he enlisted and was not in any way due to military service. The Board further stated that his capacity to earn his full livelihood in the general labor market was not at all lessened. On March 31 1917, the soldier was examined by a Medical Board in Melbourne. This Board found that he was incapacitated to the extent of one tenth, and that his condition was not caused or aggravated by military service. On August 6, May the departmental Medical Referee at Tallangatta reported that the soldier's condition was the result of pre-war traumatism, and that he had lost his earning power only to the extent of one tenth. 'All the evidence goes to show' Mr. Collins went on to say, 'that the soldier's condition is now no worse than it was before he enlisted, and as the War Pensions Act gives the pension only to those whose incapacity is the result of war service, it would seem that the decision not to grant the pension is correct. In order to make certain, however, that the man's condition was not aggravated by military service, I am arranging for the soldier to be examined by a Special Medical Appeal Board". |
