| History: | Established in 1916 by the Ministry of Pensions Act 1916, which provided for a single department to administer military and naval war pensions and provide medical care for the disabled. A Central Office, Blackpool was the principal centre for awarding pensions. It kept all the records of pensions granted, issued pension books that enabled the award to be drawn by individuals, and also prepared cases for appeal tribunals. The Ministry of Pensions and National Insurance was established in August 1953 by the merger of the Ministry of National Insurance and the Ministry of Pensions in an attempt to provide a more coherent system for paying war pensions and national insurance benefits. |
