I notified the DWP that my DH had died. Today I received a lengthy letter from them. Firstly it said that his last 2 pension payments would be taken back from his account - Fair enough. Then it went on to say that due to my change of circumstances I was entitled to an extra £34.19 per week on my own state pension and therefore my next payment would include 2 x £34.14. back payment. I have read the accompanying leaflet 3 times but still have no idea why I am entitled to more. The extra money is very welcome but I am afraid that if it is a mistake they will claw it back later.
Can anyone explain why my entitlement has increased?
