NOT GIVEN INCREASE
Pensioners In Hospital (N.Z. Press Association) INVERCARGILL, July 21. Age beneficiaries who are in hospitals will not receive for their own use the 9s a week increase in pensions effective since May 18. The Southland Hospital Board was told today by the Social Security Department, through the Hospital Boards’ Association, that there would be no variation in the amount reserved for the personal use of beneficiaries who were inmates of hospital board institutions but for whom no hospital benefit was payable under the Social Security Act.
The letter said the Social Security Commission had decided that £9 every four weeks would continue to be reserved for beneficiaries’, own use. Any amount over that could be retained by hospital boards toward the cost of the beneficiaries’ maintenance.
