Let $(\xi_k, \eta_k)_{ k\geq 1}$be independent identically distributed random vectors with arbitrarily dependent positive components and $T_k:=\xi_1+\ldots+\xi_{ k-1}+\eta_k$for $k\in\mathbb{ N}$. We call the random sequence { T_k, k=1,2...} a (globally) perturbed random walk. Consider a general branching process generated by { T_k, k=1,2...} and let Y_j(t) denote the number of the jth generation individuals with birth times less or equal t. Assuming that Var \xi_1 is finite and allowing the distribution of \eta_1 to be arbitrary, we prove a law of the iterated logarithm (LIL) for Y_j(t). In particular, a LIL for the counting process of { T_k, k=1,2...} is obtained. The latter result was previously established in the article Iksanov, Jedidi and Bouzeffour (2017) under the additional assumption that E\eta^a is finite for some positive a. In this paper, we show that the aforementioned additional assumption is not needed.
