Hi Tsumi,

Their pension would have been paid by the Admiralty.  Pension records are at the National Archives at Kew.  Have you tried searching the online catalogue
http://www.catalogue.nationalarchives.gov.uk/default.asp

Put your relatives names into the search engine and see if it comes up with anything. 

Also have a look at the various research guides that they have on the site:

It will help get you started.
