ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS
Contributing members had the opportunity to improve retirement benefits by paying additional contributions in one or more of the following ways:
- paying Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs)
- buying extra life-cover
- buying part-time membership
- buying a bigger lump sum
- buying a period of additional membership (added years)
What happens to those contributions depends on whether the deceased died:
- in service
- as a deferred member
- as a pensioner
