Pension Ledger Abbreviations

[Ashlee]

I have come across a pension ledger for my great-grandfather however I am unsure of what the abbreviations in the records relate to.

If anyone is able to shed some light on these it would be much appreciated!

There's something of an explanation here but it
might not answer the question:

It's possible this is the result of a review of his entitlement.
Difficult to say without seeing the rest of it.

Hello I am looking for some clarification on my 2x G Uncle's Pension Ledger under Other Actions and disabilities. I think #1 says GSW (gunshot wound) to the face #2 DOH? #3 Neurasthenia which I believe is shell shock. Please forgive my ignorance but what does DEAD stamp mean could it be when this soldier died? Any assistance would be much appreciated.

The date on the DEAD stamp is the date the last Dependant receiving the pension died, not the soldier.

Thank you for your reply.
Hmmmmm.......if I read the date correctly it is 6-4-27 this solider was not married and didn't have any children. 1914 on another document WW1 Pension Records 1914-1920 he lists his sister as his next of kin and she didn't pass until 1969. I am a bit confused.

Could the soldier's parents have received the pension?

This soldier's father passed away 1900 and his mother passed 1914. I am 100% certain I have the correct soldier.

If this soldier was drawing his pension due to disability could the DEAD stamp be referring to his death?
