War Veterans and Relief
CONCESSION DURING FEBRUARY A decision was made recently whereby persons in receipt of allowance under the War Veterans' Allowance Act were to be ineligible for unemployment relief benefits under the Employment Promotion Act as from the end of January, from which date they would revert to tho full War Veterans' Allowance. However, as this decision resulted in many of those concerned being without income from the last week in January until the date of the monthly pension payment at the full rate late in February, the Hon. the Minister of Labour has now authorised the granting of reduced unemployment relief payments at the maximum rate of 10s per week for single men and 15s per week for married men for each of the four weeks in February. These are the maximum rates which may be paid without adversely affecting their Veterans’ Allowance. Those persons concerned are advised to make application for the above benefit In the usual manner at the?* local Employment Bureau.
