Entitled to (young) widow's pension?

zed7 · 2017-06-07 20:22:42

I’ve been in receipt of widows pension since my husband died 5 years ago. I’m in a relationship with someone, and we had a child together recently. I don’t live with this man, though we do see each other a few times a week. (child lives with me). Am I still entitled to the widow’s pension? Thanks z

While you're not living together I can't see any reason why you wouldn't be entitled to it. Give citizens advice a ring to make sure though. I find they very helpful.
