War Widow's Will Keep Pensions After Remarrying

The video discusses the lives of war widows Carey and Trisha, highlighting the challenges they face due to pension rules. The Prime Minister has announced changes to allow widows to retain their pensions if they remarry or cohabit, affecting those awarded pensions between 1973 and 2005. While the changes are welcomed, they are not retrospective, leaving some widows without benefits. The government cites difficulties in backdating payments, though some see this as unjust. There are calls to extend the scheme to other public servants, offering them similar choices.
