What does the widow’s pension consist of?
The widow’s pension is an economic benefit that consists of a lifetime pension that is granted to those who have had a marital relationship or were a domestic partner with the deceased and meet the required requirements, with the sole objective of protecting the situation of economic need caused for the death of the person originating the benefit.
Why process the widow’s pension here?
Although anyone can process the widow’s pension independently and on their own, thanks to the mechanisms set up by Social Security for all citizens, going to a professional offers the following advantages and guarantees.
Security and tranquility
The widow’s pension is a milestone that is requested once in a lifetime and that, for that reason and due to the unpleasant circumstances for which it is requested, the person who wishes to process it is usually not emotionally prepared to carry out said management and originates much restlessness. It is quite common that, in addition, the widow’s pension is the only income available, hence the need for speed and efficiency. Finally, the extemporaneous processing has very important economic repercussions. The security offered by the processing by a professional constitutes a more than valid and real guarantee to obtain and obtain the benefit that the widow’s pension entails.

Affordable for all people
Both short-term and long-term costs are the most affordable on the market. The amount of the procedure is not relevant, if the necessary time that you should spend obtaining the necessary information, requesting an appointment, traveling, etc. is considered. In many cases, waiting the shift at the Social Security office takes a long time, and there are countless times that you must return with additional documentation. Similarly, if you go to a labor lawyer when the pension has already been resolved and it is wrong, the only way left will be the previous claim and subsequent demand with the extra economic cost.
