Not sure if this is the right board here but here goes...
I know my mum can ask the CAB and various agencies but meanwhile...
my dad is in ill health and the chances are he will die before my mum (they are both 90-ish.)
I'm worried about her income if she is left on her own and if she will even be able to afford to remain in their (small) home. They don't have much savings.
At the moment she gets a very small pension which is evidently a result of my dad's NI contributions. It's not as much as a single person's pension.
When my dad dies, they will lose all of his state pension (he gets 2- including a 2nd top up pension) and half his company pension.
I ASSUME all she will get is the single person's pension plus 50% of my dad's company pension. She will get a discount of 25% on council tax.
Is there anything she / we ought to do or find out sooner rather than later?
