Inheriting my late husband's state pension.
Hello, I am confused!
The DWP say I can only inherit £6.10 per month of my late husband's state pension.
I am getting nowhere in finding out why this is, or how this amount has been calculated.
I have submitted the Mandatory Recalculation. The reply from DWP remains the same.
When I call , I am just passed for one person to another.
How can I find out what I can inherit?
Thank you

Sorry for your loss.
When did you husband reach State Pension Age ? And when did he die ?
If it was after April 5th 2016, then the only part of a spouses State Pension you can inherit is any 'additional (protected) payment he was receiving over and above the fill new State Pension.
Details are here
