Why full pay and pension for Family assistance package 2014 , but only 100 percent pension for 2015 . Is this not discrimination? Can this be challenged in court? If this is the case so than why 2006 are deprived from other benefits.
My husband died on 23/09/2013 n his service was 4.yrs n 2 months that time n no pension was dmissible in that case i saying that hee is not eligible for pension was tht right decision or there is any cahnce he was federal employee
If he was a Federal Government employee, he was entitled to a full pension even if he had 1 day of service. However, I shall further clarify the same.
