receipt of your letter of 23 June, I am to inform you that it is understood that the Case will receive consideration about the middle of August (the subject). I am, however, to state that it is not likely that you will be granted an increase very greatly in excess of 25% as pensions payable by the Civil Service are already an increase of 58% on the pre-war rate.
