Spouse’s pension (EDS members who have taken their retirement benefits)

Spouse’s pension (EDS members who have taken their retirement benefits)

The Plan will pay your surviving spouse or civil partner a pension equal to 50% of your pension. This will be based on the pension you were entitled to at the point you retired (before taking any tax-free cash sum sum), and increased to date your death.

Additionally, if you left the Plan before 17 May 1990, the amount of pension payable to your surviving spouse or civil partner may be different. If this affects you, and you would like to know more, please get in touch with Trafalgar House.
