The combination of risk to life in the execution of duty and disruption to family life is unique to Armed Forces personnel.</p><p>The Government has accepted that the arguments were compelling in respect of police officers who have died as a result of an injury on duty. Chang-es to the Police Pension Scheme were made with effect from April 2015 to allow surviving spouses or civil partners of those police officers to receive survivor benefits for life.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 13/05/2019 13:28:14 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
