You have to be a member of the forces to get a quarter. It is not clear that she is a serving member or whether Boris is just using smoke and mirrors to effect.

What seems clear is that the quarter was in her husband's name. The husband leave - her entitlement ceases.

Hard rules and one where there may be room for some element of compassion, such as when the cessation of entitlement is a result of the husband's death in active service.

If every 'ex-wife of' was able to retain a quarter . . . no don't go there.
