GENERAL.
-
In all cases where the pensions are entered on “List of Pensioners,” Army Form N. 1537, and the pensioners’ signatures required thereon, an endeavour should be made to pay as many as possible before the 15th of the month, on which date the total amount paid on the list must be taken credit for as “Imperial Pensions Paid.” Where the pensioner can more conveniently be paid at a Money-order Office in charge of a permanent Postmaster, his receipt may be taken on Army Form O. 1697 in duplicate, the forms attached to N. 1537, and the words “Receipt attached” written in the column “Signature.” A note of the name, pension, and other particulars should be made on copies of O. 1697 for those pensioners not paid by 15th of each month, and payment made thereon when applied for.
-
Payment of pensions shown on separate forms should be made on those forms, which, as a general rule, require duplicates, both as regards receipts and declarations, and brought into the accounts as soon as paid.
-
Receipts for payments to those whose names appear thereon made prior to the closing of List N. 1537 on the 15th of the month must be treated as forming part of the balance of cash on hand.
-
Payments must be entered up on Form Acct. 442, “Schedule of Imperial Pensions, &c., paid,” which will form the statement in support of the entry “Imperial Pensions paid” on the Daily Cash Account. All classes of pension are to be entered on this form without distinction.
-
Great care must be taken to see that all documents are properly completed according to the directions thereon, especially as regards the dates on which and the persons before whom the declarations are made. The Imperial authorities are very particular in these matters. The paying officer may not also be the officer before whom the pensioner’s declaration is taken. A Justice of the Peace may attest declaration on Form O. 1697.
-
All communications with reference to Imperial Pensions must be addressed to the Accountant, G.P.O.
LIFE CERTIFICATES.
- Where life certificates are provided for, they are required for each payment, whether monthly or quarterly.
ARMY AND NAVY PENSIONS.
- These payments are payable quarterly in advance (except as hereinafter provided) on the 1st January, 1st April, 1st July, and 1st October, and no payment is to be made, or receipt or declaration
