Civil Partner's Pensions

If you die before your civil partner (a same sex partner with whom you have registered a civil partnership), he or she, as your civil partner, will become entitled to part of your pension for the rest of his or her life. Local Government civil partner's pensions no longer cease upon re-registration of a civil partnership with another person.

Long-term Civil Partner's Pension

If you die before your civil partner he or she will become entitled to a long-term civil partner's pension. A long-term civil partner's pension is equal to 1/160th of your final pay (i.e. the final used to calculate your pension) for each year of your membership built up since 6th April 1988. To this is added full inflation proofing and the pension is payable for life.
