I also t hink you should try to for the "entire pension file, including but not limited to applications". Because if you word it properly, you'll get all kinds of stuff. I got about 86 handwritten pages of testimony where every few years my gggf tried to get the pension. Finally approved in 1891 and he died in 1895. But reading the accounts was interesting.
