| S.No. | Queries | Replis of A.G.P.R. Islamabad |
|---|---|---|
| 01. | Whether the disabled children of deceased pensioner would still to be considered as “dependent” although having their own children and families independently (in terms of Finance Division’s O.M dated 15-06-1994)? | According to the above mentioned clarification of Finance Division, the word “dependent” is used for grant of family pension to disabled/retarded children, therefore, if claimant is a disabled married person and has/can support his own family, he cannot be considered as dependent and qualified for grant of ordinary family pension. |
| 02. | Whether civil surgeon of Federal Medical Dispensary is competent to issue disability/retarded certificate or not? | A medical certificate of disability from designated Government Civil Surgeon would be sufficed to establish dependency. |
| 03. | Whether the percentage of disability is also to be applicable for grant of such pension? | The Finance Division does not refer to the percentage of disability for grant of family pension to the dependent disabled/retarded children. As per practice in vogue in this office, the family pension is granted to such a disabled/retarded child on the basis of his physical status i.e. “Not fit to work” mentioned in the disability certificate proving his dependency. |
