Death benefits
If you die during Reckonable Service then the following benefits are usually payable:
- a lump sum equal to four times your Final Pensionable Pay (but before being reduced by the Lower Earnings Deduction) at the date of your death
- dependants' pensions (ie for a widow/widower, civil partner and/or dependent children)
You can find more details of these benefits from the Pensions Brochure for Section C.
It is very important that, as a member, you complete and keep up-to-date a Death Benefit Nomination Form.
