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.
