Widows Pension

My wife has a state pension in her own right although not at the full rate. While I receive the full state pension.
If I die before my wife, after we are both retired and drawing our pensions, will she have her pension made up to the same rate as mine?

Yes she would be able to claim a full pension based on your contributions.0

In the same circumstances as the OP, but if the wife had been deferring her state pension is her basic pension and the additional extra earned by deferring added together before being made up, or is the basic pension treated on its own in the 'made up' calculation?0
