I don't think it's called a widow's pension now. It's Bereavement Support Payment, and is time-limited.
I don't know if DWP consider backdated claims from so long ago, but here is the link to the current criteria.
Hopefully, someone else will come along to provide definite advice on backdated claims etc.

Try a trained benefits advisor.
