Yourself can apply for compassionate appoinment. If she also make a claim it will be rejected since she is already was in emploment.

Thank you sir.

Nothing is in your hands and the authorities have to make a decision on individual claims of your father's legal heir. The object of the compassionate appointment is that the employee's family members should not be thrown on the streets as a result of the sudden death of the employee, and the employer should assist the employee's family as they have lost bread earner.
The second wife mention is vague. If your father has married the lady, after the death of your mother, it is legal and she is having valid claims.
If your father has married her during your mother's lifetime, it is illegal (a Police officer may not do such an illegal thing) she is not having any rights but your father's children through her are having equal rights with you if your father died intestate.

Yes, the crucial issue is whether the second marriage was during the lifetime of your mother or subsequently.
