Reduced stamp state pension

If a woman receives a reduced stamp state pension, will this increase to the full rate if the husband dies?
Thanks in advance

    "Remember when your husband retires you will get a 60% married woman's pension based on his NI contributions and if you are widowed or divorced you in effect get a full pension on his contributions anyway."

    It's a bit misleading to talk about 'reduced stamp pensions'. There's really no such thing. If you're getting it all via your husband's contributions, even at 60%, you did not pay any stamp at all!
