Pension
6 Answers
A pure curiosity question:
Ex-employees of the UK government receive as an entitlement a pension. On the pensioner's death a surviving spouse becomes entitled to the same right but it a reduced rate (half ?). I know of at least two examples where the widow drew on such rights. I somehow imagine it has not always been so but, if the ex-employee and later pensioner is a female, does the surviving male spouse now receive the same residual rights ?

Scroll down to near the bottom and you'll see "Pensions for Partners: A guide" click on that and you'll see a surviving female partner can get a pension.

THECORBYLOON, I think you may just have made a "typo" as I was asking whether a male spouse and survivor of a female pensioner gets the right. In fact looking at your link it seems they do, even if only in confirmed partnership/cohabitation, so long as declared by the pensioner to the pensions authority. Thank you for the link.
