I have already submitted my disability certificate showing 60% locomotive disability with right reg.
In Sixth Pay Commission, there is a provision to get double TA for handicapped employees.
Is it necessary for me to again go to the Medical Board and get a recommendation in written for getting Double Transport Allowance?
My office is telling me to go to the Medical Board and get a Recommendation Certificate for Double TA.
