Conditional honorarium for FFs?

Conditional honorarium for FFs?

I am a freedom fighter and took active part in the Liberation War after receiving training from India in 1971. Very recently one of my freedom fighter colleagues informed me to apply, if interested, for freedom fighters' honorarium. On my request he collected relevant forms for me to apply. But when I saw the forms, I was really surprised to find the conditions to be fulfilled to get the said honorarium. Regarding health, the conditions are that a freedom fighter should be physically weak, partially weak or disabled and his / her socio-economic condition must be landless, homeless, or unemployed, etc. Besides, the freedom fighter must submit an undertaking that he / she is not a government or private service holder and mention his or her annual income.
In the light of the above, the financial assistance that the freedom fighters receive from the government should not be termed honorarium. It is rather a donation or subsistence allowance for those freedom fighters who are extremely poor. But I was more surprised when my colleague encouraged me to just sign the forms without reading the contents of the forms as some government high officials including Upazila Chairman of our area are enjoying the so-called honorarium since long. But I couldn't agree to such reasoning and refrained from applying.
If the government really wants to honour the freedom fighters by some financial reward, then why under so many conditions! The government should only ensure that any fake freedom fighter cannot avail the privilege.
