Dear Sir
Since you are in reciept of Disability Pension at 50% I am not too sure how you can get more than 50%. As per Supreme Court order if your disability is between 51% to 75% then only you will be entitled to 75% diability pension. You may connect with details.

Hi, if your disability is attributable to service in Indian Navy, you are sure to get disability pension. At the time of discharge, if RMB has not acknowledged it; you need to challenge the findings of the RMB.
