The announcement yesterday from Dr Andrew Morrison that only a few of the War Widows, who relinquished their War Widows pension upon remarriage are entitled to the ex-gratis payment, in spite of the reassurances of Lord Harlech in May, has caused hurt and distress beyond words.
Please don’t forget about the often ‘forgotten group’ Bereaved Families. Not your remit, but in today’s Government, some Widows are STILL having to fight for their WWP- or at least the agreed ex-gratia payment! @WarWidowsAssoc @RAFWidows @rnrmwidows @AWMurrison @RishiSunak

The promise was to look after those left behind. Our brave service personnel did not think that the government meant until they remarry and then the government withdrew their compensation. Those who remarried after 2015 keep their compensation payment. #wrongtimetodie
Coming to the end of an important week at @VeteransGovUK and we hosted a round table of veterans and bereaved families from the Iraq War, which started 20 years ago this week. I pay tribute to their courageous service and sacrifice on behalf of the Nation, which we never forget

The only way through grief is to go through it. 🧡 Grief is just love with nowhere to go.
