Please excuse me, I am not the brightest star in the sky
I have just read the following in  The Daily Mirror 

The Government-led War Pension Scheme (WPS) dishes out as much as £12,262 per year to eligible individuals, although this is dependent on numerous different factors

On leaving the Army in 1978 after having surgery on a back issue. I received a "re-settlement Grant" plus my service pension and a "War Disablement Pension" Is the above article referring to me, eg does it mean there are more benefits available to me

Unlikely - just seems to be saying that the Government pays war pensions to those eligible.

May be worth running your circumstances past the experts - the RBL war pensions dept - to see if there is anything else you can claim.
