answer lies in your query itself. How can you re-open 38 year old case.

If the pension is granted to the employee, on his demise the wife will become eligible for family pension. In this case, pension is not granted to your father who is demised. No legal remedy and it would be a futile effort.

She is eligible for family pension if your father was granted pension, since he did not qualify for earning pension during his life time accordingly your mother do not have the right/claim.

If you are in possession of the Pension Data/Pension Certificate then as a last resort desperate effort you could approach his Regimental RECORD OFFICE / or the Corresponding PAO (Pay and Accounts Offce)
