War Pension Scheme: Part Time Treatment Allowance
Information and guidance on how to apply for Part Time Treatment Allowance.
Overview
Part time treatment allowance is an allowance paid in addition to basic War Pension. You may be entitled to this allowance if you suffer a loss of earnings because you are having necessary treatment for the condition(s) you get a War Pension for. For the allowance to be considered it must be treatment for the condition(s) you get a War Pension for and not the condition itself that prevents work for 7 days or less.
Eligibility
If you are having medical, surgical or rehabilitative treatment in a hospital or at home, you may be entitled to Part Time Treatment Allowance if the treatment:
- is for the condition(s) you get a War Pension for, and
- stops you working for 7 days or less, and
- causes you to lose earnings.
Important information
If your treatment causes you to stop working for 8 days or more and you do suffer a loss of earnings, you may be entitled to Treatment Allowance..
Ideally the claim should be submitted before treatment. However, we realise an appointment may offered at short notice and this may not be possible. If this is the case, please forward your claim form as soon as possible after the event.
