Widow Receives Husband’s Provident Fund and Gratuity, Loses Family Pension Over Paperwork Error

The widow filed a claim for her late husband’s provident fund and gratuity after his death, and the claim was approved, resulting in the payment of the benefits. However, she was also entitled to a family pension under the same scheme, which was not credited due to a paperwork mistake. The error was traced to a missing form or incorrect details in the pension application, leading to the denial of the pension. The widow has approached the authorities to rectify the mistake and recover the pension amount, while the provident fund and gratuity remain intact.
