A new compensation scheme could see hundreds of war widows receive around £90,000. It will benefit those whose partners died as part of their service but later remarried or moved in with a new partner.
Between 1973 and 2015, those who began a new relationship after their military personnel spouse died were forced to give up their War Widow's Pension. However, the rules changed in 2015.
Although, as reported by The Mirror, the rule was not backdated. This means that a few hundred people were not set to be reimbursed the money they lost.
