What do you mean 'left a pension'?
Left a pension fund, which he would have used to buy a pension had he survived to retirement age?
Or left a pension payment to his survivors? The latter is usually only payable to his widow, or if she has predeceased him to children under 18. Either of these would be untouchable by the creditors - not sure about the pension fund.

Was he still bankrupt when he died, or had he been discharged? If discharged, then the creditors would not have any entitlement to whatever money (if any - see above) you are entitled to. If he was still bankrupt then any lump sum payment from a pension policy might have to go to the Official Receiver, who has to be told about it.
