Spouse’s pension (Bank of Ireland section members yet to take their benefits)

Spouse’s pension (Bank of Ireland section members yet to take their benefits)

If you die before your normal pension date
Your spouse or registered civil partner will receive a pension for life. This will be equal to 60% of your deferred pension (accrued since 6 April 1978), revalued to the date of your death. 

If your were to die after your normal retirement date, without having taken your benefits, then different benefits may be payable. Please contact the Plan’s administrator, Trafalgar House for more information.

If your spouse is more than 10 years younger than you, the pension they are paid will be reduced as the Trustee decides.

Additionally, if you left the Plan before 17 May 1990, the amount of pension payable to your surviving spouse or civil partner may be different. If this affects you, and you would like to know more, please get in touch with Trafalgar House.
