and if your mother designated you as her beneficiary you should maybe still be getting it. Some pensions allow people to take less each month than they are entitled to so that a family member, usually a spouse, can keep collecting after their death. I'd check with the issuer of the pension and not the trustee, to see if such an arrangement was made.
