However you contact us to let us know a member has died, it would be very helpful to include their Scheme Number or National Insurance number, as well as the contact information of the person dealing with the member’s affairs.
Please also let us know if the member leaves a widow, a widower or a civil partner, or someone who was financially dependent on them.
What happens next
Once the Scheme Administrator has been told about the member’s death, they will contact the person dealing with their affairs and ask for any outstanding information so they can provide details of any benefits due from the Scheme.
