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

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

The Trustee has discretion to pay to a non-qualifying spouse a pension of up to two thirds of your revalued deferred pension. This will be halved while a child’s pension is also payable and reduced by the amount of spouse’s GMP where a spouse’s pension is also payable.

If you’ve yet to take 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.
