A spouse’s or dependants’s pension

Your spouse or registered civil partner will be entitled to a pension for life equal to:

If you die before your Normal Retirement Date: 60% of the pension you would have received, had you stayed in Pensionable Service to Normal Retirement Date but based on your Pensionable Salary at the date of your death.
If you die after your Normal Retirement 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 become payable at the discretion of the Trustees.
