On interaction  with the War Widow and going through  the available documents with her, we came to know that the process for sanctioning pension is in progress.

The initiative from DIG of CRPF  and the Home Ministry is explained to the widow.

As the death occurred  under Category of “ E “ of disability,  the widow is eligible for  LIBERALISED  FAMILY PENSION.

The PPO for LFP addressed to PDA/ Bank is awaited though the PPO number is allotted by  CPAO- Trikot, New Delhi.

Meanwhile, we have prepared an ANNEXURE  for one Time Grant and submitted  to  THE WAR WIDOWS ASSOCIATION, New Delhi,  furnishing the full details of the Martyr and the war widow,

The Young  War Widow and her father were very much satisfied with our service  and expressed their sincere thanks to our Trust members for this valuable help and guidance.

ONE AGGRIEVED HAVILDAR ADDRESSED

 Veteran A.Nambi Narayanan at ouir Trust office

The below mentioned Hony.Nb.Sub called on us with a complaint 

That he is being paid pension for the Rank OF Havildar only

Instead of Hony.Nb. Sub.

Name: A.Nambi Narayanan 

 Rank: Hony.Nb.Sub –(Hav) - 1315585.

Gp- Y   QS: 22 yrs.

PPO.NO: SW/C/ 16550 /1981.

On verifying the available documents, we confirmed that he was granted  with Hony.Nb.Sub vide the above PPO.

PDA: Canara Bank.

He is being paid pension for Havildar only.

We have now reported this discrepancy to his PDA and CPPC,in writing along with the copy of PPO and latest pension paid particulars to revised the pension for the Rank of Hony.Nb.Sub .

The veteran was very happy and thanked us for this help.

Our Trust is also happy in addressing one more veteran,

PLIGHT OF WAR WIDOWS.

                                               FATE OF WAR WIDOWS; 

Here is a feed back and suggestion  in regard to widows of War Wounded  soldiers after discharge from service.

1 .We all know that , when a soldier is killed in War/ War like activities, his wife is called  WAR WIDOW.

She is sanctioned with Liberalised Family pension- F /BC and other financial benefits.

In the same manner, when a War Wounded soldier ,i.e injured, lost his Hand and leg etc.in the War/ War like activities, he is sanctioned  with WAR Injury Pension- D/ BC

– Say 100% Disability.

2. When this veteran dies after some period, his wife is sanctioned with Ordinary Family pension. vide. F/ NA .

For Example:

Say  A Sepoy  - Group- Y  QS : 5 yrs.

100% WIE    person-  Invalided out.

Service Element;

as per OROP-

  5775- 7^th CPC 5775X2.57=14842  w.e.f 1-1-2016

War Injury Element 100%= 11555…..11555X2.57=29697

Total…….14842+29697=………..44539.00

DA at 9 %.....................................    4009.00

Constant Attendant Allowance….     6750.00    

                             Total…………    55298.00

Case No.1 
Widow gets

 Liberalised Family pension as on date

: 11550X2.57=29684.00

Case No: 2

Widow gets Ordinary family pension  :

 Enhanced rate    : 5775X2.57=14842 +DA

 Normal rate…..  :3500X 2.57= 9000 +DA.

See the difference  of War wounded soldier

55298     and the Normal family pension =9810.

It is only 20% of pensio9ners pension.

The widow has to maintain her family now with Rs.9810 , where as she was maintaining the family with 55298 when husband was alive.  We feel it is not justified.

In both the cases, widow  of  DEATH  / DISABILITY   on War /

War like activity is the same .

One is called  WAR WIDOW   and the other normal widow..

In our opinion, the widow of War wounded soldier  may be fixed with at least the same service element of the deceased war wounded veteran..

We request all our ESM organizations to think over and express  your opinions to higher ups  so that both the Category of the widows may be called as WAR WIDOWS  and treated .
