Did grandma get a ww1 pension ?
« on: Saturday 10 November 18 21:15 GMT (UK) »
If so how much the top or bottom  figure or none at all. Does it the word say ‘ illegible’ ?

It says "ineligible " - so she didn't get it after all. That would have been quite a blow.

Yes thanks noticed I had read it wrong. Do you think that the second line of figures are in a different hand and added later? If so then did she get one?

It looks like the same hand to me and there's only one date. Is there anything in the next right hand column, after ineligible ?

I'd say it was the childrens' allowance she was ineligible for.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Thanks MaxD if that is the case I wonder why that would be as my father was alive then. Interesting point though

Yup that’s right. She wouldn’t have had any money really to live on.
