Dependant’s pensions (EDS members who have taken their retirement benefits)

Dependant’s pensions (EDS members who have taken their retirement benefits)

The Trustee has discretion to award a pension to a dependant.  The Trustee also has discretion to decide the amount payable. However, the total amount cannot be greater than any pension paid to a spouse or civil partner.

Although the Trustee decides who will receive the benefit, they will take account of your wishes. To keep the Trustee informed of your wishes, please go to the ‘nominated beneficiaries’ section of your My Work Pension account. You will find this under the ‘Your account’ menu. Alternatively, please get in touch with the Plan’s administrator, Trafalgar House, and they will be able to send you a form.
