With the way things are going atm ( with regards to benefit cuts, pensions etc ), they will probably tell her she needs to do Class C pallet multi drop or go buy a good few blankets and find her nearest food bank as she will be getting next to zero
She should be eligible for Pension Credit, which will top up her income to £155 per week. As it’s an income related benefit it would also open the door to Housing Benefit and Council Tax reduction. Have a look at Age UK website.

Can recommend the Pensions board on Money Saving Expert, lot of pension bods over there.
