DECEASED DIED AS A DEFERRED MEMBER
A deferred benefit means that although a member no longer pays into LGPS they chose to leave their contributions in the Scheme.
If the member paid AVCs as well and has a deferred AVC account, the Fund co-ordinates arrangements. If the member is single, the Fund arranges to pay the accumulated fund to the same beneficiaries as those nominated to receive the death grant payable from LGPS.
If the member has made provision for an annuity to be paid to their survivor, the Fund arranges for the survivor's annuity to be calculated and paid accordingly.
