Irish Woman Kept Drawing Dead Mother's Pension For 3 Years. Here's Why

In a case that has sparked debate in Ireland, a woman continued to collect her dead mother's pension for three years, claiming it was a way to keep her memory alive. The incident came to light in County Meath, where authorities recently discovered that pension payments intended for an elderly woman- who had died years earlier- were still being withdrawn. According to the Irish Mirror , 56-year-old Catherine Byrne, the woman's daughter, never registered her mother's death or informed the Department of Social Welfare, allowing the payments to continue unnoticed for over 36 months.

Despite the emotional explanation, the court ruled the act as serious welfare fraud. Catheri...

Last month, Netflix India, in a statement, said that Maharaj follows a journalist and social reformer Karsandas Mulji. He was a pioneering advocate for women's rights and social reform.

The very first attempt by the reigning world champion was a massive one and it looked that throw easily breached the 85m-mark. However, the organisers were not able to measure it due to a technical glitch and as a result, Neeraj had to take the throw once again. Following his gold medal win, Neeraj opened up about his feelings regarding the controversial incident and what he felt could have been the reason behind the confusion. ( Asian Games Medals Tally ) "I was puzzled and confused, it has never happened in any competition I have competed in till now.
