On November 11, I met with an 87 year-old veteran who had been granted his pension at the age of 85. He told me that it had been quite a difficult process. But, as you say, I suppose that he was given the benefit of the doubt, because he had a problem with his hearing. That's why I asked you whether the benefit of the doubt is still a factor. I was surprised to hear that this veteran had fought in the First World War and had only found out that he was entitled to a pension at the age of 85.
On November 22nd, 2007. See this statement in context.
