I am told they have different pensions and it also depends on the time of the year in which the pensioner may have passed away, so I do not want to be too crude about that. The actual figure is about 90 from 97, so it is seven fewer, not five. This is about widows of deceased military service pensioners. It is also about widows of special allowance holders and widows of service medal holders, so depending on what category one is in, one gets a different payment.
