When a husband who qualifies for the basic age pension dies without National Pension Plan (Kokumin Nenkin), his wife is paid until his wife turns 60 to 65. It is also called "pension of Connection" until his wife receives pension.
If you fall under both a widow's pension and a lump-sum death payment, choose either one.
