§ Mr. Dalyellasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what warning was given to Mrs. Jane Keoghane of Pirbright, Surrey, a Falklands widow, that she could be charged with fraud for claiming a maternity allowance as well as a war widow's pension.
§ Mr. NewtonAlthough an overpayment occurred, because national insurance widow's allowance and maternity allowance were claimed by Mrs. Keoghane for the same period, I understand that no warning or possible 51W fraud action was given and Mrs. Keoghane has been told that the overpayment which occurred need not be refunded. War widow's pension and maternity allowance may be paid in full together.
