What are the requirements to access the pension of my partner who died if we were an LGBTIQ+ couple?

The eligibility requirements for the deceased partner's pension are the same as for heterosexual couples:

1. Copy of the death certificate of the deceased.
2. Birth certificate of the applicant or copy of the baptismal certificate, if born before 1938.
3. Copy of the identity card of the person requesting the pension increased to 150%.
4. Copy of the civil registry of marriage or of the declaration of the common-law marriage. If you have not declared your partnership, you can submit an extrajudicial declaration from the interested party and third parties, in which you state that you have known about the cohabitation of the couple, as well as the length of the cohabitation (from - to).

Note: In order to receive the pension for life, it is necessary to prove that you have lived with your partner for the last 5 years and that you are over 30 years of age. If your partner did not receive a pension before your death, it is necessary to check the pension scheme that applied to you to verify whether or not you met the pension requirements.
