HC Deb 26 June 1917 vol 95 c179
20. Mr. WARDLE

asked the Pensions Minister whether the mother of a soldier who is in receipt of separation allowance in respect of her husband receives a pension in respect of her son if he is killed or dies on active service, and his death is due directly or indirectly to military service?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of PENSIONS (Colonel Sir A. Griffith-Boscawen)

The answer is in the affirmative, provided dependence on the son before mobilisation or enlistment is established. The grant of pension in these cases is one of the changes introduced by the new Warrant.
