The benefits from the LGPS that may be payable upon your death depend on when you stopped paying into the scheme. They could include:
- a lump sum death grant after the death of a pensioner
- survivor's and children's pensions after the death of a pensioner
Notify us about a death
Complete the online notification of a deceased scheme member form. If you have notified Tell Us Once (TUO) and ticked public sector pension, you do not need to complete our form. Watch a short video about how to use TUO to tell organisations about a death just once
Information for dependants (survivors and children)
As a dependant you may be entitled to survivor's or children's benefits.
A dependant in this case is a person who, at the date of death of the pensioner member, was either their:
- spouse
- civil partner
- eligible cohabiting partner
- eligible children.
As a dependant you will need to complete a dependants declaration form which we send to you. If you have not received this form after the member has died, you should contact us.
