Widowed Mother's Allowance/ Widow Pension

fairydiamond

Hi, I am looking for some help. I've looked online and have not been able to find an answer.

My mother-in-law has been receiving Widowed Mothers Allowance since 1993 when her husband died. She currently gets £169 per week.

Her youngest child is leaving full time education and she has received a letter saying her widowed mother's allowance will end on 5th September. The letter says she will then receive Widows Pension from this date. Can anyone tell me how much this will be per week. She is 49 years old.

Thank you for your help.

£58.41 per week as she is age 49, plus a variable amount depending on her late husband's national insurance contribution record from 1978.
