If he died in service in 1916 he could not have received a pension so perhaps it refers to his widow who would have received a War Widows Pension.  Married 1915 but no children born to the marriage

Over 60% of WW1 service records were burnt in the WW2 blitz and his do not appear to have survived

You don't say whether you've seen this.

The record is available at Fold 3.
The reference mentions Mary Jane Rayner but that is all.
You would need a membership to access it unfortunately.
