State Pension Due Next Month

Just_caring

My state pension is due in 3 weeks and I’ve been online and got a forecast but I’ve been trying without success to find out how much of my late husbands additional state pension I will receive, does anyone know how long before my birthday I should receive this information? Thanks

Have you applied for your pension? did they send you a letter after that telling you how much pension you would get?

When did your husband pass away and how old was he ?

Was your husband in receipt of his state pension?

 If so, when did he reach SPA?

Do you have his last SP increase letter?

What exactly did it say in respect of additional state pension/GRAD/ protected payment?

bearing in mind that NSP was introduced 6/4/16.

See if you can find either his last PI letter or any information about his entitlement to Additional State Pension/GRAD.
