supplementary allowance
The pension for the surviving spouse is made up of different components. Firstly, there is the flat-rate Grundrente. The supplementary Ausgleichsrente is also flat-rate, but is only granted to the spouse who, due to certain circumstances, is expected to be unable to earn any income; it is means-tested. If the spouse earns an income amounting to less than half the amount which would have been earned by the deceased person, there is a right to the compensation of losses in her/his development in professional life Berufsschadensausgleich.

compensation pension
Is this anything to do with wartime compensation or just a pension for dependents?

I actually meant dependent as in a surviving spouse who had been dependent on her husband financially while he was alive

I notice that IATE translates it as "disablement pension" though I would have thought "disability pension" was better

Note from asker:
| Thanks Penny, there is no mention of any dependants in the text. I generally think of ausgleich as meaning "settlement" but would it mean in this case "compensation " for the suffering/loss caused during War? |
