Is pension credit still payable if it is owed after someone has passed away . Pension credit was applied for in April 2022 , processed and awarded in September but not received and person passed away in December 2022 without receiving payment .

If it was awarded in September why had nothing been paid by December?

If there was entitlement prior before to death then any money not paid is still due and should be be paid to te estate.
