If the member has died before their last day of pensionable service, an ill health pension will not be paid as the member has died in service.
An ill health pension will be paid if:
- the member has been approved for ill health
- an AW8 application form has been signed by the member
- the member has died after their last day of service including any outstanding annual leave
The AW8 application form must be posted to us with a copy of the member's death certificate.
A retrospective ill health pension award will be made to the estate of the member.
We’ll pay:
- the retirement lump sum
- arrears of pension
- dependant's benefits, if applicable
