Death in Service


Death Grant

If you die whilst still in pensionable employment, the Clwyd Pension Fund will pay a death grant to your Estate or beneficiaries.  The death grant amounts to 3 times your final actual pay at death.  It is important that you complete a Death Grant Expression of Wish Form (267KB opening in a new window) so that the Clwyd Pension Fund has a written record of your wishes.  The Clwyd Pension Fund does have discretion as to who to pay the grant to.  If you do not complete this form, the death grant will be paid to your Estate and may be liable for inheritance tax.
