Information for next of kin
What should I tell my next of kin?
Entitlement to your pension ceases on your death. It cannot pass to any other person. You should ensure that your next of kin or another representative is aware that in the event of your death they should contact the Pensions Administration Office, Thurso immediately to avoid an overpayment of pension. Your bank should also be notified immediately, so that they are aware that no further pension payments to you can be accepted.
Once the death has been registered a copy of the death certificate should be forwarded to the Pensions Administration Office, Thurso. They will then be able to ensure that any widow(er)’s benefits are paid promptly. Your widow(er) will receive a pension for life or until remarriage or cohabitation.
