I don't have enough knowledge about Scottish law. I believe you have your own law.Originally Posted by Arthur Little
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.
My ex- husband was getting an additional pension for me which is called wife's allowance. As I remembered it right, his claimed started when I was still in the Phils. and I am not an ILR holder. I think is worth trying Arthur before it's too late. Try to go DWP and ask about it. Come to think of it, it's not your wife's claim but your claim.
