In completing the claim form for a widow's pension the widow omitted to state her husband's insurance number and did not give any particulars, as are requested, of periods of employment, unemployment or incapacity. For this reason it was necessary to request her to furnish the required information with a view to tracing the husband's insurance record. This has now been done and she has been awarded a widow's contributory pension at the maximum rate.
