Notifying the fund about a death

We understand when a bereavement occurs if can be a challenging time. We explain the process following the death of an LGPS Scheme Member.

How to notify the Pension Team

To tell us about the death of a member, there is certain information the family or representative needs to provide.

This includes the following information about the Member: 

1. Full name
2. National Insurance Number
3. Address
4. Date of death

This can be provided via email at [email protected], or you can contact us on 0300 200 1022. Please also provide your full name and the details of the Member’s next of kin, personal representative, or executor - the person dealing with the Member’s estate. This includes their name, address, email address and telephone number.

Berevement service

Tell Us Once is a service that lets you report a death to most government organisations in one go. If we are notified by the Tell Us Once service, they should inform us of all necessary information.

We will write to or email our key contact, enclosing any necessary forms that need completion. These should be signed and returned by email or to our postal address. Once we receive the forms, we will process benefits, if any, that are due and notify all relevant parties when this is complete.
