Should those bereaved by military service be entitled to extra support from the state?

What do you think? Should support from the state extend to military families as well as to military personnel?

The Armed Forces Community includes the bereaved family members of military personnel. As part of the community, the bereaved should be supported by the state. This could be at any stage, including during any inquest into the death of a service person.
