War Widows Pensions Need Higher Support and Action
The letter urges the Minister for Repatriates Mr Barnard to raise war widows pensions, especially for those with young children. It criticizes 2/15 a week base pay and a 17s6d plus per child increase as insufficient, arguing that widows with multiple children face dire costs and limited earning options. It calls for doubling child allowances under 16 and for the nation to share the burden until children reach independence.
