I was discharged from the army on February 20, 2008, due to medical reasons. The medical board assessed my disability at 15%, so I didn’t receive any medical benefits like a pension. Can I file a case to get a medical pension after being discharged from the army for medical reasons?

You may be able to file a case for medical pension. The Indian Army has a defined medical board assessment criteria for pension eligibility. If you believe the 15% disability assessment was incorrect, you can appeal it. You should consult a lawyer specializing in military law to understand your specific rights and the process for filing an appeal.

“Respected sir, I retired from the Air Force as a JWO on 30th November 2020, holding the rank for two months. However, my pension is being calculated based on the rank of Sergeant. I understand there’s been a change allowing pension based on the rank held for even a single day. Is this true?”

After serving in the Indian Air Force for many years, I retired in 2013. I had been promoted to a new rank just a few months before, with a brief period in acting pay. However, my pension was calculated based on my previous rank, not the final salary I earned. I’ve been told by the Air Force that my promotion wasn’t made official before I retired, which seems to go against government guidelines. Could I challenge this decision through the Armed Forces Tribunal?

I served in the Indian Army for over 5 years and was discharged in 2007. I joined the Andhra Pradesh State Police Department in 2012, claiming age relaxation as a Non-Ex-serviceman based on the notification allowing service in the army to be considered. My probation was completed in 2014. Now, the department says I used a Non-Ex-serviceman certificate to secure a job in the Ex-serviceman quota. What should I do? 1. Am I eligible for age relaxation based on my military service? 2. Is there a provision to allow a Non-Ex-serviceman to fill a position if a suitable Ex-serviceman isn’t available? 3. How can I ensure my job security?
