Child’s pension (EDS members yet to take their benefits)

Child’s pension (EDS members yet to take their benefits)

Under the rules, there is no automatic right to a child’s pension. However, the Trustee can use discretion to award an eligible child a dependant’s pension.

If you were to die after your normal retirement date, then different benefits may be payable. Please contact the Plan’s administrator, Trafalgar House for more information.

The Plan defines eligible children as follows:

• Your biological children
• Stepchildren if they were financially dependant you at the date of your death
• Children legally adopted by you
• Any other children who, in the Trustee’s opinion, were dependent on you at the date of your death.

A pension paid to a child will be payable until age 18, or age 23 if your child remains in full-time education or training approved by the Trustee.
