NHS pension for Shipman's widow
Harold Shipman's widow, Primrose, will receive a pension and lump sum as a result of her husband's death, the Department of Health has confirmed.
Stripped of his NHS pension, Britain's most prolific serial killer would not have received the money had he lived.....

Anybody got any thoughts on this?
I don't have a problem with this. Primrose is a victim, remember and should in my view be looked after as a survivor.
I'm sure some of you will disagree....

I don't have a problem with it either.
But - as you say - I'm sure someone will disagree.

Re: NHS pension for Shipman's widow
There doesn't appear to be any evidence that she was an accomplice so why should she be penalised for what he did.

Re: NHS pension for Shipman's widow
I'm 99% in agreement but there's that nagging 1% that say's "NHS?" considering his abuse of position.

I agree, but thats defeating the point... We'd be paying if shipmen didnt commit those crimes.. so why remove this privilige from his wife, just because he did?

Because it's a benefit she is legally entitled to and which she has done nothing to disqualify herself from. Why should we not pay? Because of something her husband did? If that's the case, perhaps we should lock her up, now we can't punish her husband any more ...

Re: NHS pension for Shipman's widow
She's not done anything wrong and should get her pension. I feel sorry for her and her son. It must be a nightmare for them.

Why should we not? She has committed no crime and Harold Shipman can not now profit from his crimes (nor should he). Why shouldn't she be entitled to the same benefits as any member the family of any NHS staff member who dies?

Re: NHS pension for Shipman's widow
Some people are prone to over react on these kind of issues.
She is entitled to the pension, she did nothing wrong.
It has similar issues to Huntleys family being hounded out of their homes/jobs just because they are related to him.
It is about time that the evangelists learnt to grow up and lead their own lives and stop interfering in the private lives of others, who, in a way are also victims of monsters like these two.
This lady has suffered enough torment, leave her alone.
