Question 17054 — veterans and victims of war

Summary

Ms. Annick Cousin questions the Secretary of State to the Minister of the Armed Forces, responsible for veterans and memory, on the combatant recognition allowance. Corresponding to an annual amount of 812.76 euros, this allowance is currently granted to veterans from the age of 65, or 60 under certain conditions. Only the holder of the fighter's card can currently request payment. She doesn't can be granted posthumously and is not reversible. Many associations from the fighting world in the MP's constituency are today pleading for a new approach around this fighter recognition allowance. They consider that the entire household and therefore even more so the spouse, has suffered consequences due to the combatant's military commitment in defending the country's interests. These associations would now like the reversibility of this allowance in favor of the spouse, in the event of the death of the fighter. These are mainly women who have become widows, for whom these 812.76 euros annually could prove essential. The MP thus relays their questions by requesting a relaxation of the rules for awarding this combatant recognition allowance, in favor of the spouse and lowering the age ceiling for allocation. Therefore, she would like to know if the Government plans to study a modification of the conditions of allocation of this allowance, in particular the lowering of the age of allocation, as well as its reversibility.
