Death of an employee aged over 75
Note that employees over age 75 already have their pension in payment.
No death grant is payable after age 75, but survivor benefits may still be due.
Step 1: Notify Pension Services immediately
Complete a death in service notification form.
Send whatever details you have straight away. You can send further information later as it becomes available.
Step 2: Send a copy of the death certificate
If available, send a copy of the death certificate with the form.
However, do not delay sending the form if the certificate is not yet available. You can send it later.
Step 3: Authorisation
An HR or payroll officer recognised by Pension Services must sign the form.
