State pension and deceased spouse pesion

Options
My hubby and I are both in receipt of state Pensions and serps.

He has full (old) state pension

I have 60% state pension

If he pops his clogs I know I can claim some of his serps but 
Do I get my state pension put up to full state pension.

I am hoping so as I will be on about £400 a month to live on or is it a case of claiming pension credit

Thanks for any help
