A woman whose two sons were hit and killed by an alleged drug driver has been granted bail while facing charges of robbing a woman at knifepoint.
Shayleen Frail was arrested on October 24 after allegedly threatening a woman with a kitchen knife and demanding she transfer $717 to her bank account.
Dubbo Local Court heard at the time Ms Frail was suffering post traumatic stress disorder after watching her sons Sheldon and Shane Shorey, aged six and seven, die 10 months earlier on January 6.
The boys, along with their older brother, were visiting their mum in Wellington in the NSW Central West for the school holidays.
They normally lived with their father, Joseph, in Emerald in Queensland.

The boys' father wanted them cremated so they could rest both in Queensland and Central West NSW
Following their deaths, their estranged parents were at odds over what to do with their remains.
Mr Shorey wanted the boys cremated so they could rest in both locations, while Ms Frail and her family wanted them buried nearby.
The matter was heard by a magistrate who determined the boys would be buried at Wellington Cemetery as per their mother's wishes.
As Mr Shorey contemplates moving his life from Queensland to Mudgee to be closer to his boys' resting place, Ms Frail is struggling with PTSD and depression.
Dubbo Local Court heard on October 25 she required weekly physiotherapy to deal with her own physical injuries and is on a methadone program to cope with her years-long addiction.

Defence lawyer Beth Maher told the court Ms Frail began using heroin aged 14 and is a woman 'of particular vulnerability given her circumstances'.
Magistrate Roger Prowse did not grant bail on that occasion, citing a 'very strong' police case and 'a very long record' of past offences.
But she appeared again in the Supreme Court on December 6 after six weeks in custody and was then granted bail with strict conditions.
She must report to Wellington Police Station once daily, seven days a week.
Ms Frail is due to appear in Wellington Local Court on December 21.
Two days later, 25-year-old Jacob Donn will front Dubbo Local Court on 30 charges, including two counts of manslaughter, negligent driving, driving under the influence of illicit drugs, possessing drugs and dangerous driving occasioning death.
