A spouse’s pension

If you die whilst in Pensionable Service, your spouse or registered civil partner will receive a pension for life equal to:

If you die before Normal Pension Date: 60% of the pension you would have received if you had stayed in Pensionable Service to Normal Pension Date but based on your Final Pensionable Salary at the date of your death.
If you die after Normal Pension Date: 60% of the pension you would have received if you had retired immediately before your death (ignoring any commutation). If you die without leaving a legal spouse or registered civil partner, a dependant’s pension may be payable at the discretion of the Trustee
