[QUOTE=Stokkevn;13000428]Just remove her name from your 'dependents' on your pension.[/QUOTE
There is no provision for 'dependants' if I understand correctly. Claimants must apply giving proof of eligibility.
Regards

Re: Me and My Family
State pension has no provison for widows
As far as military pension goes, there may be provision to nominate a spouse/partner but if it is similar to company/private pensions then it would be reduced if the age gap is ten years more.
If you reached State Pension age on or after 6 April 2016
You cannot inherit your spouse or civil partner’s Additional State Pension if either:- your spouse or civil partner died on or after 6 April 2016 and reached (or would have reached) State Pension age on or after 6 April 2016
- you started your marriage or civil partnership on or after 6 April 2016

Re: Me and My Family
But if she is not named as a dependent she can not collect either bereavement or pension percentage. I have state, private and gov pensions ( no military ones though ) and all ask for marital dependents name for which there does not seem to need any reason to remove a name ( which I have done in the past ), unlike adding one ( new wife etc ) when you need bunches of paperwork.

Re: Me and My Family
How if she's not your wife? And wouldn't she would have to be nominated first?

Re: Me and My Family
My brother died in the UK a few years ago. I accompanied my SIL to an appointment to sort those sort of things out. I remember her turning in my brothers driving license and passport, and providing the death certificate, and his birth certificate. There were a myriad off other questions about pension, etc. It’s not that easy to get the bereavement allowance. As conniving as she is though, who knows.

Re: Me and My Family
Excluding my DWP pension I receive three other pensions. In each case my wife is the nominated survivor and provided notorised her birth certificate and our marriage certificate. I have already prepared letter for her to date and sign and to provide my death certificate on my demise. All sad but very necessary.
