UK Social Security & Pension Survivor Benefits
Hi all,
I have a British client that is currently receiveing ~$700/mth from UK SS/Pension benefits. His spouse who is American is receiving a $40/mth. Upon the British clients death, will the spouse be entitled to any survivorship/widows benefits?

Re: UK Social Security & Pension Survivor Benefits
When you say SS/Pension, do you mean the UK State Pension (equivalent of US Social Security?) If so, then this page from Directgov should have all the links that you need to answer your client's question.
