Witwen- und Witwerrente für Hinterbliebene in der gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung erhalten
If persons insured by law have died in connection with the insured activity, the surviving widows or widowers will receive a widow's or widower's pension as long as they have not remarried.
Description
If your spouse/ registered partner or your registered partner has died as a result of an insured event (accident at work, occupational disease, road accident), they will receive a widow's pension or widower's pension.
The pension is reduced by the amount of own income.
You are entitled to the pension until you have remarried.
If you have remarried and the new marriage has been dissolved or annulled, you will again be entitled to a widow's pension or widower's pension for the penultimate spouse. However, you must submit an application for this.
The rules on survivors' benefits to widows and widowers also apply to survivors' benefits to registered partners.
