'Any Entilements'

Hi, I've been trying to find out if my wife who is 65 years old is entiled to any benefits or some kind of pension. As I am 2 years younger than my wife I am still at work and earn around £28 K gross p.a. My wife who had interrupted work life as she was raising a young family always worked in low paid part time jobs like shop assistant and cleaning. Now that she is retired she does not recieve a single penny in benefits or pension but only gets winter heating allowance and have a bus pass. Can anyone help in pointing out if she is entilted to any pension or benefits.
Regards

If she is going to claim a pension on your contributions then she has to wait until you are 65 and claiming your own pension. Has she spoken to the DWP?0
