To qualify for a widower's non-contributory pension an applicant must have a qualified child residing with him. A qualified child for the purposes of widower's pension is one under the age 18 years, or under 21 years if in full-time education.
The person concerned was in receipt of widower's pension until his daughter's 18th birthday on 13 March 1990. In the absence of documentary evidence that his daughter is continuing in full-time education, his pension was terminated with effect from 15 March 1990.
If his daughter is in full time education he should furnish a certificate from her school or college to this effect and his pension will be restored. If she has left school, the person concerned may reapply for unemployment assistance at his employment exchange.
There is no provision for a contributory widower's pension scheme.
