taken (when separate forms are used), before these dates. A declaration made on the last day of the previous quarter must not be accepted.
1060. Accounts must be accompanied by a schedule of payments made during the period, and by all receipts obtained on W.O. Form 1697, and other documents in support thereof; and in no case is the pay-list of pensioners to be retained after the 15th of the first month of each quarter. Pensioners applying after that date may be paid on W.O. Form O. 1697, to be retained for that purpose. Duplicate receipts but not duplicate declarations are required on O. 1697. No entry should be made in Remarks column of Pay-list, except with reference to transfers, dates of death, or new admissions. In cases of death or transfer the amount only should be deleted.
1061. Pay-lists (in duplicate) are to be signed, except in cases of pensioners residing at a distance, when a separate form of receipt (in duplicate) may be used, and pay-lists enfaced “Receipt attached.”
1062. When a pensioner cannot write he is to make his mark in the column noted for that purpose, and the witness to the mark is to sign his own name in the column for signature. It is not necessary that the pensioner’s name should be written also; his mark is sufficient. Care should be taken that a pensioner does not make his mark in one place and sign his name in another.
1063. When a stoppage is made in a pension the whole amount is to be signed for, the stoppage being noted in the column of remarks.
1064. When a part of a man’s pension is paid to his wife, the man must sign for the whole amount, but a separate receipt should be taken from the wife for the portion she receives.
1065. When a pensioner is a patient in a hospital or a lunatic asylum, and his pension is paid to the local authorities on account of his maintenance, a life certificate must invariably accompany the receipt. In these cases the pension is not payable until the end of the quarter.
1066. The death of a pensioner must be reported as early as possible, stating date and place, if known.
1067. An army pensioner who has neglected to apply for payment during the current quarter may be paid the arrears in the following quarter, provided he can furnish a satisfactory reason for not having applied within the proper period. If he shall have neglected to apply during any period between six and twelve months he must furnish satisfactory certificates showing the manner in which his time has been occupied during such period. As regards navy pensioners, these certificates must be furnished in every case where a pensioner fails to draw his pension for any quarter.
