The goverment are discriminating against couples that choose to cohabitate and also their children if they have any.
If your partner dies you will not be entitled to a widows pension the reason you are not legelly married also there is a widowed parents benefit which you will not be entitled to either.
I myself am in this position and have e-mailed the PM and some MSP's on this matter and told them its discrimination, I have also raised some other issues with them to do with this matter, at the moment I am in the process of getting my story in a resputible paper and the reporter is looking into this.
If you or anyone you know is in this position or could be please let me know you dont need to disclose all your details I just want to know the statistics also give me your oppinions on this matter and I will relay them in my story with the paper.
The goverment will need to make changes in this area or give plausible answers...
