Workmen's compensation — Award — Parents — Mother — Total disability — Condition existing at time of accident — Ability of claimant to work — Existence of other children.
1. Under section 307 of the Workmen's Compensation Act, the dependency of a father or a mother upon a deceased child is to be determined by the condition existing "at the time of the accident."
2. The mere physical ability of a mother to work does not of itself preclude a finding of total dependency upon a deceased child.
3. The existence of other children legally liable for the support of a parent does not, as a matter of law, preclude a finding of total dependency upon a deceased child.
4. The existence of dependency and its extent are questions of fact which must be determined under the particular circumstances in each case.
