We were heard! Thank you so much to our President and Vice Presidents for their unstinting support. Most of all, thanks to the members who shared their very moving stories with dignity.

"Britain's forgotten war widows say a government scheme to finally give them a special Recognition Payment is a total fiasco."

It was sobering, too, that while thousands had crowded the cenotaph less than an hour before the war widows’ service, few remained to pay their respects to those left behind. Sometimes, it’s easier to remember the dead than it is to face those who are a living reminder of them.

Absolutely disgusted with your response today regarding the ex-gratia payment. I wish I had known when I thanked you, in person, and told you my story- you didn’t even mention I didn’t meet the criteria-criteria that was not agreed! Was always about the WWP!

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
