Death Benefit Nomination

Topics:

The Civil Service Pension Schemes do not only provide pension benefits. In certain circumstances they also provide benefits after your death to the people you care about. You can complete a Death Benefit Nomination form to confirm who you want to be considered to receive any lump sum benefit. This could be a family member, a friend, a charity, a business or any other organisation.

Death Benefit Nomination forms are listed below

Please complete the form in black ink and in block capital letters and send it to:

Civil Service Pensions (NI)
PO Box 410
DARLINGTON
DL1 9WG
