Good evening, I wonder if anyone can answer this for me, 
Man already in receipt of state pension, younger partner in receipt of UC. If they decide to marry what happens to the gentleman’s pension ? They do not live together but would be after marriage.
Thank you in advance

    Nothing at all will happen to the pension, state pension is not affected by a change in personal circumstances.  What may or may not happen to the other person's benefits is an entirely different question which needs to be posed on the benefits board.
