What is deducted from the widow’s pension?

The full widow’s pension is usually only paid if the surviving partner has no other income. Often the partners of the deceased receive their own old-age pension. This, as well as other income, is offset against the widow’s pension, but not in full, rather according to a complex procedure. This can significantly reduce the entitlement to the widow’s pension.
