If you have such a pension, your partner could be left with NO entitlement to your pension benefits on your death either pre or post retirement.
Even if you have completed an Expression of Wishes form (sometimes called Nomination of Beneficiary form), and stated that on your death your pension benefits should go to your partner, the pension provider may IGNORE your wishes.
