A married woman who contributes will, if qualified, be able to draw Sickness and Unemployment Benefit, even though her husband is working, but at special rates. A married woman contributor will also be able to qualify for Retirement Pension from the age of 60 at the full rate of 26s. a week, whether her husband is retired or not. Married women in Class 1 employment will be compulsorily insured for Industrial Injury, even though they choose not to insure for other benefits. It is essential that all insured women who marry, and all women who become widows on or after 5th July 1948, should at once notify their local National Insurance Office. PART THREE National Insurance Benefits Explained This Part and Part Four give more information about the individual benefits and the conditions on which they are paid. Some detail, and special conditions affecting comparatively few claims, have been left out. In case of doubt always consult your National Insurance Office. SICKNESS BENEFIT 20. What are the Rates of Benefit? The standard weekly rate for a man or woman over 18 years of age (except a married woman) is 26s. with an increase of 16s. for an adult dependant and 7s. 6d. for the first child under school leaving age. Children, after the first, will be covered by the Family Allowances Scheme. 16
