State pension increase or inheritance for widows
PLRC1952
Posts: 1 Newbie
I am in receipt of a full state retirement pension since Nov 2017. My wife has been receiving a very small state retirement pension since 2010. My understanding is that she will automatically have her state pension increased to match my pension if i die before her. My wife will also receive a proportion of my final salary and inherit substantial savings and investments. Will this affect her state pension entitlement?

The widow's pension from your occupational scheme and the inherited investments will not affect the state pension.
