Long Term Spouses Pension. For those of you who it is of interest to, it has been pointed out to me by several members that when they had examined their personal details, in the section labelled "Pension Benefits" is a further section marked "Pension Details",and they had been surprised to note that in the section marked "Long Term Spouses Pension" the amount shown is £00. This does not apply to everyone, as in my case it shows an acceptable figure. I do not know what this signifies, but I would strongly recommend that you check your personal figures, and if you unhappy with the figure shown, or are unable to do so on line ring XPS. You should ask that they immediately review your figures.
