Widows pension query

aspens_glory

Hi just wondered if anyone can advise. I currently receive a widowed mothers pension my husband died in 1999. My daughter turns 18 in July and I know when I initially applied for it they advised that the child component would be removed and I would then receive a widows pension. However with the changes to widows pensions I believe that as I am already in the system I will not be affected by new changes however does anyone know when my daughter turns 18 in July will I still transfer to a widows pension ?or do I lose it with the changes? Have tried to contact DWP but they advised there computer systems are down and I would need to call back. Thank you x
