Not sure if anyone will be able to offer any advice but Google isn't throwing up any answers for me...

A woman of 65 gets a state pension.

A couple of years ago she heard about something (not sure of the name of it) that allows her to claim extra based on her divorced husbands earnings/pension.

If she were to meet a new partner and move in with him would she lose the right to this "extra" and revert back to standard state pension.

Anyone know or able to offer advice/point me in the right direction links wise please?

Much appreciated. smile

Thanks for the advice so far chaps.

She been getting extra pension (through pension sharing) for a while now.
It started just after they got divorced.

She just wondered if she would still be entitled to it if she moved in with a new partner and ultimately remarried.
