Over the years the conditions for eligibility have changed but in-pensioners are those who live at the Royal Hospital while, historically, out-pensioners were those who lodged outside but visited it twice a year to collect their pensions. This was because the Royal Hospital acted as the administrative centre for army pensions and was run as a garrison until the mid-nineteenth century.
