Filipina whoes husband is dying in the UK

[mickcant]

Hi all,
There is a Filipina married to a British man living in the same housing complex as me.
She does not have a computer so I am writing this on her behalf.
She met a British man through her work in the Philippines 25 years ago, and came to the UK soon after they married.
When her retired in 1984 after 30 years in the police service they went to the Philippines to live.
He became seriously ill around three years ago and came back to the UK because of his medical treatment cost.
He is now in a hospice and not expected to live more than weeks.
She paid a full stamp when she worked in the UK before they retired to the Philippines.
She wants to return to be with her family in the Philippines after nature takes its course.
She will be entitled to a widow’s pension from his occupational one, should she also be entitled to a British state widows pension and be able to receive them in the Philippines?
She is 58 at the moment.
I realise for details she needs to contact both pension providers but I was hoping we could put her mind at rest while she continues to care for her husband.
Hoping somone can help her.
Mick.

Oh my... that's sad. What's the husband's name? I'm asking as Simon (my fiance), who works with the police, might know him and can help if he can.

Our condolences.

Hi Florge,
Thanks for your offer of possible help.
I will ask her about this to make sure if its allright for me to give his surname.
