Government Pension for dependents of NHS workers who have died fighting COVID19
The families and dependents of Medical Professionals who have died from COVID19 whilst working in the NHS should get annual payments comparable to the salary that their family members would have brought into the household for a period comparable to the rest of their working life.
These are members of the NHS who would have lived regular healthy lives had it not been for the pandemic. The Government is keen to make a comparison to soldiers dying in the field of battle, and their dependents and family should get comparable financial support after the unexpected and untimely death of their loved ones.
