Some useful information regarding death benefit nominations
- if you die while still in service (but not if you have partially retired or you are already in receipt of a pension from the scheme), the lump sum payable is at least two years' pay
- if you die after leaving, retiring, partially retiring or taking other Civil Service pension benefits, the lump sum is worked out differently to the description above. You can find out more information in the scheme guides about the benefits that may be payable
- you can name as many nominees as you wish and choose how to split the lump sum between them
- you can check your existing Death Benefit Nominees by contacting Civil Service Pensions
