    My aunt has been a widow for years and has a daughter who is 13. She claims the widows pension and would love to return to work part time. She is afraid to loose the medical card because her daughter needs to go to the GP quiet often and she has said she could not afford to loose it. Would she be able to keep the medical card and go back to work part time while claiming the widows pension.

    She should be claiming one parent family payment,unless she is receiving a contributory pension.

    AFAIK she would be ineligible for one parent family payment new claims from May the dependant child has to be 12 years or younger.
