Find out what benefits may be paid if you die

We may have previously provided details of these benefits in the following formats:

  • If you’re an Active member this information is likely to be included in your Annual Benefit Statement.
  • If you’re a Deferred member this information is likely to be included within your Leaving Service Statement.
  • if you’re a Pensioner member this information is likely to be included in the retirement illustration you received immediately prior to your retirement. 

As the benefits payable after your death depend on your membership status (Active, Deferred, or Pensioner). The documents mentioned above may not reflect the current benefits if your status has changed since they were issued. Therefore you can also request that we provide confirmation of this information. The easiest way to request this is to email us at [email address].  You’ll need to provide us with some additional information so we’ve created a simple email template to help you. Click or tap the button below to open the template using your chosen email application.
