An employee, Eduardo Dizon, dies from a work-related accident. He leaves behind a surviving wife, two legitimate children aged 6 and 9, and a dependent mother who had relied on him for financial support. (a) Identify the central doctrine governing entitlement to death benefits in a work-related death scenario under In General – LC, Art. 198. (b) Distinguish the controlling rule for death benefits from disability benefits and state the proper order of dependency. (c) Apply the rule to these facts: who are the proper beneficiaries and why, and how should the benefits be allocated among them; specifically, does the dependent mother have any right given the presence of the wife and the children?

Choose the Best Answer

The central doctrine is dependency-based entitlement; death benefits are paid to dependents in the priority order: surviving spouse, then legitimate children, then dependent parents; with a surviving wife and legitimate children, they are the proper beneficiaries, and the dependent mother has no entitlement. The employer may select any one dependent as beneficiary at his discretion; there is no statutory order. Only the surviving spouse is entitled to death benefits; children and the mother have no rights. Death benefits are shared equally among all dependents who can prove dependency, regardless of relationship or priority.
