When there is no recognized primary dependent, a secondary dependent's allowance may be payable for a dependent parent, brother or sister if evidence of support, based on established criteria is provided. However, a staff member may not concurrently receive more than one secondary dependent's allowance. Please note that for the General Service staff a secondary dependent allowance is payable where justified by local practice.
