WW1 military pension - what about dependants?

Hi Philip - I'll have another look at the actual image, but I think I managed to capture the entire card.
The left side (original card) is a close-crop.

I thought that might be the case.

I reckon that the 15/- is the weekly amount for Harry's wife Annie.  The 2/- per child would also be weekly.

Harry's medical board decided he was 3/4 disabled, so his pension (if my calculations are correct) should be Group 5 max 40/- x75% = 30/- per week.

This would make the total for the family 30/- + 15/- +3x2/- = 51 shillings per week, or £2.11s0d.

Hi Philip - so sorry, I didn't realise there is a second Pension card (on Fold3). Pls see attached.

Yay!  Thank you.  There was various paperwork about the pension in Harry's service record but I hadn't seen the actual card.
