Mr. L.W. McCron,
Box 202,
Geralton, Ontario.
Dear Sir:
We have received an application for the war service gratuity in respect of the late Flight Sergeant W.G. McCron, from Mrs. Florence M. McCron.
In the case of death of a member of the forces, regulations provide that the gratuity on his behalf is to be paid either to a person who was dependent upon him at the time of his death or, if there was no dependent, it is then to be paid into his service estate for distribution in accordance with the terms of his will or, in the absence of a will, to the person or persons legally entitled to his estate.
Records reveal that pay was assigned to you by the deceased at the time of his death, which may or may not indicate that a state of dependency existed. Therefore, before we can deal with the claim which has been received, and in order to hasten settlement of the gratuity payable in respect of the deceased, we must first ascertain whether or not you were dependent upon the assignment received.
If dependency is claimed, your case will be referred to the appropriate authorities for investigation. On the other hand, if no dependency is claimed by you, further steps will be taken to deal with the application submitted by Mrs. Florence M. McCron, to determine whether or not that person could classify as a dependent. Finally, if it is determined that no one is dependent, the gratuity will be paid into your brother's service estate.
Since the advice requested will be of distinct assistance to us, an early reply will be appreciated.
Please forward your letter to the Secretary, Department of National Defence for Air, Ottawa, Ontario (Attention: DAF/War Service Gratuities Section) quoting the above file number.
Yours truly,
[signature]
