Pension

[Whingey]

Posted on wrong thread. How come husbands granny got a war widows pension when he died in 1960.as well as state pension?

I assume she got state pension as given, but the war widows pension on top due to the husband dying in service.

Oh sorry, I didn't have my glassware n and misread the date

Did she maybe have a previous husband?
