    My father was in the army for 2.5 yrs in the 60s....He went to the Congo and was shot. he lived to tell the tale, but that was the end of his army days. The question is...would he be entitled to a pension? He never received any conpensation at the time

    I'd enquire directly to the army itself if I were you, your grandads case is a bit different to the regular service these days.

    Unfortunately no!
    the Army Pensions Acts (1923 - 1980) require that an application for a pension must be made within a statutory time limit of 1 year after discharge in wound or injury cases.
