I’ve been doing some research and had a Question about pension application/statements (I know some of you are familiar with these).
I’ve noticed on several statements that there is a last section that reads, with some variation thus:
“ he has no documentary evidence of his service and he knows of no witness whose testimony he can procure who he can procure to testify his service. He thereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension role of the agency of any state.”
I’ve seen this closing statement on a couple of the records and I wondered what it meant? Does it mean that this person did not qualify for a pension? If so, what does “Except the present...” mean?
I am particularly interested because a person I’m researching to use as a springboard for my persona has the statement as well.
