The notation 'dead' means that the pension claim has ended. Typical misleading record keeping especially when keeping records for military personnel.

Thanks for confirming that Allan.  I had discussed with others that it might just mean that the record is 'dead' and can be filed away but it seemed a bit odd they would use such a term especially, as you say, on a military record.
