Dear Client, 1. Yes, your mother-in-law can be eligible for a second family pension from your deceased husband only if she was fully dependent on him and there is no surviving widow (you) claiming the pension. However, dual family pension is subject to government rules and pension sanctioning authority's discretion. 2. Consult an advocate to discuss your case in brief. 3. You may schedule an appointment regarding your case by phone or email at your convenience. Thanks & regards, Priyanka Advocate Coimbatore

Definitely Yes, Your Ex-Mother-in law is eligible for the family pension from your deceased ex-husband. the family pension that your Ex-Mother-in law receiving from your deceased Ex-Father-in law is not a bar to receive pension for any other deceased family member. feel free to contact for any legal advice.
