Spouse’s pension (Bank of Ireland members who have taken their retirement benefits)

The Plan will pay your surviving spouse/civil partner a pension equivalent to 60% of your pension. The amount payable will ignore any cash sum you may have chosen to take when you retired.

Where 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.
