If you die while holding deferred benefits, a lump sum death grant may be payable to your estate or nominated beneficiary.
The amount received depends on when you left the Scheme:
If you hold more than one deferred LGPS pension (and are not an active member at the time of death), a death grant may be payable from each.
However, if you are both an active and deferred member at the time of death, only one grant is payable – whichever is higher between the death in service lump sum and the deferred lump sum(s).
