Now Married

[Arthur Little]

I am retired and have a Pension,
Does anyone know if I can now claim for my wife as well even though she is a Filipino?

I'm also retired with an occupational pension. However, it seems that even though I've remarried, I'll still only be entitled to receive the basic amount payable to a SINGLE person when I reach the official State Pension age this coming September. Meaning, I shall need to wait until July 2011 - when Myrna applies for ILR - before I become eligible for a married man's pension.
