Example of a survivor pension after death in service

A member joined the scheme on 1 April 2010. Their date of birth was 31 March 1962 and they died on 31 March 2016 at the age of 54. Their normal pension age is 65.

Their annual pensionable pay in 2014/15 was £19,000
Their annual pensionable pay in 2015/16 was £20,000, which is her final year's pay.

Their spouse will receive a survivor's pension of:
1 April 2010 to 31 March 2014: 1/160 x £20,000 x 4 years = £500
1 April 2014 to 31 March 2015: 1/160 x £19,000 = £118.75 (revalued to keep up with the cost of living)
1 April 2015 to 31 March 2016: 1/160 x £20,000 = £125
1 April 2016 to age 65: 11 years x £125 = £1,375

Total pension is £2,188.75 (£500 + £118.75 + £125 + £1,375)
