I don't know how long through the process you are but if you haven't already done so you must inform the pension service centre of the position, they will then send you some forms to fill in and will probably ask for the death certificate to be sent in aswell. After that's been done I wouldn't have thought it should be more than a few weeks but to be honest I don't know for sure.
