I voted to stay but respect democracy and as such think we need to get on with things. I personally don’t believe or take any notice of the posturing from MP’s who think “they could do a better job” we all have to respect people wish and get on with things NOW!

As a people we will make this work.

She Won the Defence Secretary reverse decision.
Thanks you all for your Support.
Sammi hopefully will know have peace of mind knowing her children will have financial security for the future.

This is absolutely shocking x

I find it absolutely shocking that these poor children are being denied the last thing their mummy can provide for them AND a dying mother is having to fight this battle when she deserves to spend her final days making memories for her babies.

Outrageous and heartbreaking, this is Sam’s money! Her children deserve and need this

Sammi’s children will have suffered enough, to deny the pension as financial assistance to them is truly unjust.

This is simply wrong! An outdated and unfair system which doesn’t reflect modern living. This needs to be changed NOW!

It’s not right to deny her children the pension that is rightly theirs.

This is totally unjust. If someone has paid into a pension for 20 years, and presumably paid a widowers’/dependents’ contribution, then the kids should be entitled to her pension regardless of when they were born. How ridiculous. She should at least be given the comfort of knowing that she has provided financially for her children.

This whole situation leaves me so angry!! It is so unjust and archaic that AFPS should even consider denying this Officer’s children survivor rights.

This is absolutely amoral, let’s hope we can get this in front of the Defence Sec to approach the Treasury to rectify this terrible injustice BEFORE Sammi is no longer with us.

This is so manifestly unjust I can only believe that the military did not anticipate these circumstances. I hope my faith in the MOD will be vindicated by a swift and decisive move in Sam, Grace and Rory’s favour.
