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

He clearly does not live in the countryside. There is an abundance of wildlife.
'Do you ultimately want to stop us not just having domesticated horses, but cats and dogs as well?' 'Yeah.' 'It’s a very extreme position.' Nigel Farage grills Animal Rising activist Nathan McGovern ahead of the group's planned protest at the Epsom Derby this weekend.

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.

What is wrong with people? So glad my hubby has now retired from the Police Force. Having lost one husband in the service of his country, didn’t want to loose another.
Let’s see him say this after he has worked picking in the fields of Lincolnshire for 8 hours.
His arrogance exposed again. Why do you listen, folks?! I’ll tell you what, manual labour is a hell of a lot harder than presenting a radio show.
Marriage matters…. Hopefully now with the support of GB News in telling our story and the commitment from @trussliz the 300 War Widows will get their pensions reinstated. All we did was get married again. @blythe_gillian @GBNEWS @angiemackenzie1 @markwhiteTV @WarWidowsAssoc

This is about being treated the same as all the war widows who married after 2015.

This is simply about being treated with parity with our fellow War Widows. At present we are being discriminated against because our husbands died at the wrong time.
'We are the forgotten few, our husbands paid the price. We're not asking for anything that isn't rightfully ours.' War widow, Jude Howcroft, is among others calling on the next Prime Minister to reinstate lost pensions to hundreds of war widows who remarried before 2015.
