Death Grant

The amount of lump sum payable is dependent upon how long you have been in receipt of your pension.

If you retired after 1st April 2008

If you die within 10 years of the date of your retirement (providing this is before the age of 75) a death grant is payable equal to 10 times the annual pension in payment minus the amount of pension already paid up to the date of death.

You can choose whom you would like to receive any death grant payable by completing an 'Expression of Wish Form'.

Please note, however, that the administering authority retains absolute discretion when making payment of any death grant.
