My late husband/wife said that my widow/ers pension would be half of his/her pension. Why is my pension less than half?
A. The widow/ers pension is half of the pension if all of the member’s reckonable service counts for family benefits. If all of the service was not covered then the pension will be a smaller proportion of the member’s pension based on the number of years counting towards family benefits. For details on the amounts of service which may count for family benefits service see leaflet Survivor and Death Benefits.
