I was able to receive copies of my grandfather's service records by
providing a copy of his death certificate and stating on the application
form that I wanted them for family tree research. I did not have to provide
any proof that we were related. According to information I found on their
web-site, as well as the cover letter that arrived with the documents, the
person must be deceased for 20 years (not 25).

The records included the dependant's allowance card, listing his wife and
children.
