Spouses pension entitlement

[beefer]

I will be in receipt of my preserved Army pension in a couple of years and was just wondering what would happen if I croaked when I was drawing the pension? Would my wife be entitled to half? Also if I die before I qualify would she get anything? I have tried to find out on T'internet but no joy.

On that cheery note I'll say goodbye!

Don't let on when you find out.

Anyone else?
