Default Military widows pension rethink call

Not sure what the position is in the US or elsewhere but the UK position should be looked at IMHO.

Quote:
David Cameron should make a new year's resolution to stop "condemning" military widows to a "solitary life", the Forces Pension Society has said.

The not-for-profit group said current rules meant widows generally lost their forces pension if they remarried.

Its chairman Sir Christopher Coville said the rules were an "obscenity" and an "affront to the military covenant".
