Latest DWP guidance on underpaid State Pension for someone who’s died

The DWP - Department for Work and Pensions – has updated its guidance for the next of kin or executor for someone who has died who may have been underpaid their State Pension. That’s because they did not get the automatic increase in their pension that they were entitled to. This is relevant for people who reached State Pension age before and after 6th April 2016, and the following groups of people: - those who were married or widowed when they died; - and those aged 80 or over when they died.

The new state pension replaced the basic and additional state pension for those who reach State Pension Age on or after 6 April 2016. I’m going to explain how your entitlement to the new state pension is calculated and what happens if you’re in the fortunate position where your state pension benefits are projected to exceed the amount of the new state pension. I will also explain how you can ensure you receive the full new state pension, if you’re currently projected to fall short.
