(2) Any person who is aggrieved by a decision under this section of a pension officer may appeal against such decision to the local pension committee who shall consider the case and give their decision thereon in the same manner and subject to the like appeal as if such decision of the pension officer were the report of such officer on a claim referred to him for report and inquiry under section 7 of the Old Age Pensions Act, 1908.
