Dependant’s pensions (EDS members yet to take their benefits)

Dependant’s pensions (EDS members yet to take their benefits)

The Trustee has discretion to award a pension to a dependant. The Trustee has discretion to decide the amount payable as long as the total amount (along with any spouse’s pension) does not exceed the total amount payable to a spouse.

If you’ve not yet taken your benefits and 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.

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.
