Do I need to live in Germany to receive benefits?
No, you can receive German widow pension (Witwenrente) anywhere in the world. We help clients in over 40 countries claim their rightful benefits.
What's the difference between small and large widow pension?
The small widow pension (Kleine Witwenrente) provides 25% of your spouse's pension for 24 months. The large widow pension (Große Witwenrente) provides 55% and continues for life if you have children, a disability, or are over 47 years old.
