EP_T1_news thumbnails7
We’ve created a new web page which explains how families can report a member's death and tells them what happens next.

You can find the new page using the relevant links below

For RPS it’s railwayspensions.co.uk/resources/reporting-a-death

For BTP it’s btppensions.co.uk/resources/reporting-a-member's-death

It includes: 

  • Contact information for reporting a member’s death
  • What is needed to report a member’s death
  • What happens once the scheme administrator, Railpen, is told about a member’s death
  • What potential beneficiaries need to do
  • Who can get money from a member’s pension
  • How long it takes for death benefits to be paid
  • Other sources of support for dealing with a death
