§ Mr. W. H. Greenasked the Secretary of State for War whether a widow's old age pension is taken into account as income in assessing the amount, if any, of dependants allowance in respect of a son on active service; and, if so, will he consider discontinuing such a practice?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaA claim to dependant's allowance is a special claim related to the income of the person alleged to be dependent, and the contributions previously made by the claimant. It is therefore necessary to take all forms of income into account before the claim can be settled.
