Death in deferment - CAB

If you die before normal pension age and have a deferred pension, the following benefits are payable:

A dependant's pension

Your qualifying spouse, qualifying civil partner or nominated dependant will receive a dependant's pension of half of your deferred pension.

Children's pensions

Your qualifying children (up to a maximum of two) will each receive a pension equal to half of the dependant's pension. If no dependant's pension is payable, the children's pensions will be doubled.

The above information refers to the Career Average Benefits section.
