A 91-year-old war veteran was today preparing to take his long-running pension battle against the Ministry of Defence to Westminster. Major Richard Perkins said he has been given permission for a protest outside Parliament on Wednesday. The decorated former soldier believes he is due tens of thousands of pounds from the ministry as compensation following a long-running dispute about the taxing of the military pension he had been drawing since the 1950s.
Maj Perkins saw service behind Japanese lines in Burma in 1944 as part of the special unit known as the Chindits and was mentioned in dispatches.
He later served during the Malayan emergency in the late 1950s, where his problems began. In the mid 1990s the Government discovered of hundreds of veterans who had been medically discharged from the Army had been wrongly taxed on their pensions and eventually paid out millions of pounds in rebates and compensation.
