These guidelines advise health authorities and trusts of an extension of the definition of the term 'war pensioner' to cover people who were injured or disabled as a result of service in the armed forces either before the First World War or between 1 October 1921 and 2 September 1939, the 'inter-war years'. Health authorities and trusts are also reminded of the arrangements for priority treatment of war pensioners.
