Payments do not automatically end
Millions of people across the UK benefit from the State Pension as a regular source of income, paid to people aged 66 and above with at least 10 years of National Insurance contributions. The majority of recipients receive £156.20 per week, but can reach up to £203.85.
You may be entitled to extra payments from your deceased spouse's or civil partner's State Pension, however, this depends on their National Insurance Contributions, and the date they reached the State Pension age. If you haven't reached State Pension age yet, you might also be eligible for Bereavement benefits.
Should they have reached State Pension age on or after April 6, 2016, or be under State Pension age when their spouse or civil partner dies, the “Your partner’s National Insurance record and your State Pension” tool on the UK Government website can enable a person to check what inheritance they may be entitled to.
Extra money from deferring State Pension Some people may opt to defer their State Pension in order to build up an extra amount. In this situation, the spouse or civil partner may either claim the extra State Pension or get a lump sum. However, an individual cannot inherit anything should they remarry or form a new civil partnership before they reach State Pension age.
