War Widows Association offers help

30/05/2008

The War Widows' Association (WAA) is essentially a UK pressure group which works to improve the conditions of war widows and their dependants. Its work encompasses all those who have suffered bereavement as a result of World War II and all conflicts since then - including Iraq and Afghanistan. The WWA also represents those who have suffered the loss of their husband in peacetime, when his death was attributable to his service life.

It works with all government departments, petitioning for improvement in pensions, the administration of benefits and other issues affecting War Widows. It also represents War Widows at national events of remembrance and maintains close links with all ex-Service organizations and the Service widows' associations.
