2/3 pension for Mrs?

sebastianj

I was informed that the stay home mums may only get 2/3 of their husband pension, is this true. i.e if the husband state pension is £114 then the Mrs get £76. Can someone please shed some light on this.
Thank you.
Sebastian.

In any case, get her a state pension forecast, and Statement showing all her contributions/

Then decide, as to her RA, the actual route to take (ie perhaps paying voluntary contribs).
