Lookback: 1 year after father's death

I sought advice on survivors benefits

My father remarried before he died, so I didn't receive survivor benefits

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew about remarriage rules earlier"
If I could tell you one thing
"Check with the relevant authorities to determine eligibility"
