Overview
The LGPS gives you valuable life cover and financial protection for your family. There are two types of benefits that we could pay if you die:
- Dependant’s pension. This is a regular payment to someone dependent on you at the time of your death. For example, a spouse, registered civil partner, or an eligible cohabiting partner. We may also pay children who are below a certain age or who meet other criteria.
- A lump sum death grant. This is a lump sum, usually paid to the person who you choose to nominate. You should let us know who you’d like to nominate in the nominations section of your online pension account. Or you can fill in our expression of wish form.
