Death in retirement
If a member dies after starting to receive benefits then the following benefits are usually payable:
- a lump sum (on death within the first five years of retirement)
- dependants' pensions
You can find more details of these benefits under Section A/B or Section C as appropriate. (Members who joined before 1 April 1987, will be in Section A/B and those who joined on or after 1 April 1987, will be in Section C.)
It is very important that, members complete and keep up-to-date a Death Benefit Nomination Form.
