This has always been the difference, but now it looks like a precedent has been set.

Summary:

If a straight couple marry in 2017, and one partner dies, the surviving partner is eligible for the entire pension of the spouse.

Same sex couple marry in 2017, and the same thing happens, only pension contributions since 2005 are payable.
