answer text

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave him on 15 July 2015 to Questions 6509, 6522 and 6523 about war widows' pensions. The Government has a longstanding policy that changes or improvements to all public service pension schemes should not be applied retrospectively. The cost of reinstating war widows' pensions for those who remarried between 1973 and 2005 was not estimated. The change to the War Pensions Scheme means that from 1 April 2015 those who surrendered their pensions from that date or after due to remarriage or cohabitation can retain their widow(er)'s pension for life.
