PENSIONS AND SAVINGS
Sir, —I am a widow of this war, receiving a widow's pension of £2 per week, also £1 per week economic Eension. I am not working. I have een told by friends that if • I save any money from my pension and deposit it in the Post Office Savings Account I'will lose my £1 economic pension. Is this correct? How much am I allowed in the Post Office before it affects my £1 per week economic pension?—l am, etc., NOSEY. [It was the practice of the Social Security Department to allow a pensioner to earn up to 30s a week before reconsidering , the allotment of the economic pension, said an officer of the Department when the above letter was referred to him. There was certainly no ban on saving and, if the writer had no other source of income, she would have to have a large sum of money saved up before the interest would reach 30s a week. In any case, as a widow of this war, she would receive every consideration.]
