Don't believe state pension is transferable

I have not a clue, but it’s a good question and I keenly await the answer.

I still don’t have a clue but this link might help.

Just asked Mrs MSB who is up on these things.

State Pensions are individual and die with the person.

I tend to agree, I generally look at situations like this and ask if the Government are going to give me something they could avoid. The answer on virtually every occasion is no.

Occupational pensions are often transferrable although I think at a percentage. State pension is not, it dies with you

It’s a clear as mud but, from what I can make of it, you may be entitled to some part of your deceased partners state pension under specific circumstances that I personally won’t meet.

Is the correct answer.

According to Martin Lewis the answer is no if it’s the new state pension.
If you check his last episode which was televised last Tuesday S12 Ep 22, the whole show was devoted to pensions
