  "account": "The Spanish Government has approved a decree-law extending the right to a widow's pension to couples with children who are not married or registered as cohabiting partners. The new rule, which will be published in the Boletín Oficial del Estado, allows surviving partners to claim the benefit if they can prove two years of uninterrupted cohabitation through their residence registration. Those already bereaved will have one year to provide evidence of their eligibility.",
  "summary": "El Gobierno da un año a los supervivientes que conviviesen al menos dos años y cuyas parejas muriesen hace tiempo para que pidan la prestación",
