Any and all assets of a deceased can be used for the repayment of his debts. However, if the pension is making a lump sum payment to a "beneficiary" like a spouse, then it would not be considered an asset of the deceased and you could fight any claims a creditor might make, but if it just pays out to the deceases estate then its fair game for payment of any debt therein.
