is mum due any change to her state pension

chukk

I can't work out from the information if my mum should be due any change or back payment to het state pension. Can anyone help please ? She is 79years old and has been widowed since 1988. I am not sure which group she falls into. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Contact the Pension Service online or call on 0800 731 0469. Make sure you have the following details to hand:

• Your name, date of birth and NI number
• Current annual basic state pension – you should be able to find this on your latest annual statement, but if not, give the total weekly or monthly amount
• Husband's name, date of birth (and date of death if this applies) and NI number
• His current basic state pension, or last known before he died

You'll then be told whether you're receiving less than you're entitled to.
