There is no record of the named person, at either of the addresses provided ever having initiated a hearing loss compensation claim against my Department through the courts, nor is there any trace of an application for a hearing loss disability pension from the Army Pensions Board. Army personnel records do not show the named person, at either of the addresses provided, as ever having been employed in the Defence Forces. If an Army personnel number of the person in question is made available then further enquiries can be made in the matter.
