No Dependents' Pension for unmarried mother

I have been asked to post this very sad and salutary story of an unmarried mother whose young children will not benefit from their mother's AFPS75 Pension.

The link is here:

Essentially she served for 20 years, left the RAF and then decided to have children but did not marry. She has cancer with a poor prognosis and no parents or relatives that can help.
