WIVES IN FORCES
Payment Of Dependants’
Allowances
An assurance that, the wife of a soldier still retained her financial rghts as a wife if she herself enlisted for service in the armed forces was given by the Minister of Defence, Mr. Jones, in reply to an inquiry last night. “A soldier’s wife serving in the armed forces is entitled as a right to continue to draw the dependants’ allowances for which she is ordinarily eligible,” said the Minister. “She has this right in the same way as she would have it if she were working in civilian employment or the Public Service. Eligibility for the allowance payable to the wife of a soldier is not withheld because the wife is also in the armed forces.”
