Disabilty pension ledger for the TB of lung - 100% attrib

A Death Certificate would potentially assist [providing it gives cause as TB]

That said; widow and child(ren) [Due to the £7 Grant rather looks like there were two children eligible] applied for an Article 11 pension & Art 12 allowance(s) - cites Pulmonary TB as cause of death.

So does look likely to be the case.
