A survivor’s pension is a benefit that is payable in the event of the death of a relative. Due to the fact that most widows decide to apply – the benefit gained the colloquial name, i.e. retirement from the husband. It can be obtained not only, and in addition to the application, it is necessary to meet the conditions.

How much is my retirement pension for my husband? It all depends on how many applicants there are
Many people choose not to apply once they have read the terms and conditions. The claimant must waive his own benefit in order to receive the survivor’s pension. The retirement pension from a husband is not 100 percent, but only 85 percent for one applicant. More people can apply and then it amounts to:
- when two people are entitled to the pension – 90 percent of the benefit,
- when the pension is due to three or more persons – 95 percent of the benefit.
