My partner is a retired fireman collecting his full pension. As we reviewed our 'life-plan' we were both surprised to discover that as I became his wife/partner after retirement I'm not eligible to receive any pension benefits after his death as I would've if we'd been married before he retired. Does anyone know if there is a way around this? He supports me and I would be in real financial hardship if I couldn't collect 1/2 the pension if anything happened to him.
