ENDORSEMENT/ CHANGE/ CORRECTION NAME & DOB OF SPOUSE IN PPO/ SPARSH
The Spouse of an ESM is the first claimant of Pension & Entitlements on his/ her demise. It is important that details of spouse are correctly notified in PPO. There are elderly Veterans who retired when such provisions were not existing and many later retirees may have incorrect/ incomplete details of spouse endorsed in PPO/ SPARSH.
Please also remember, details in the Record of Service alone do not make the spouse automatically entitled to pension and entitlements. Endorsement in the PPO/ SPARSH is essential.
Procedures for the following contingencies have been laid down:
- Endorsement of Spouse Name in the Record of Service
