[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

As per the latest information available on the relevant Government websites, in case the widow of the army personnel is no more alive, family pension is payable to the children up to 25 years of their age, or marriage or till they start earning a monthly income exceeding Rs. 3,500/- +  DA admissible from time to time, whichever is earlier.

Therefore, family pension would be payable to you only up to the age of 25 years subject to the condition that you are unmarried and unemployed as mentioned above.
