Reference para 2.4, then I believe that is only if the death was attributed to the Service???

Important to read the sentence in toto:


2.4 Eligible Partner Benefits – Your partner may be eligible to receive a pension where death was attributable to Service. This is the same as that paid to a spouse/ civil partner.
