Inheriting of UK state pension seems very vague for those born before 1945. Dad was born in 1931 and I cannot work out if mum, born in 1937, will inherit any of his state pension after he passes away. Anyone been through similar scenario and able to offer any guidance?
I was widowed at 54, husband died at 58. Son brain damaged at birth, so always a carer. When I reached pension age I had a widows pension based on my husband’s contributions.
Your Dad would have started work after 1948, when the NHS started, and I assume (but happy to be corrected) that is when the state pension etc started too. All part of the first post war Labour government?
