Dependants pension - PEPF

A dependants pension is payable where the member has no spouse, civil partner or child to pay a pension to. A dependants pension is payable to a person who has been nominated by a member of the scheme as being dependant on the member for some of the ordinary necessities of life. 

There is no guarantee that a pension will be paid to a nominated dependant. On the death of a member the dependant would have to prove to the Committee of Management (the governing body of the Public Employees Pension Fund) that they have been dependant on the member. It will be up to the discretion of the Committee as to whether they determine this to be a sufficient level of dependency to warrant paying a pension.
