    Ask in the pensions section. This dead section gets hardly any traffic. Plus, the pension section is more appropriate for your enquiry. A copy and paste of what you have written here should suffice. However you should add whether the income is level or indexed as it makes a big difference. A comment on your health and any financial dependents would help.
