Survivor's pension payable to your spouse if you left the LGPS after 31 March 2014

For each year of membership you built up from 1 April 2014 you were credited with a pension equal to a proportion (i.e. 1/49th or, for any period you were in the 50/50 section of the scheme, 1/98th) of the pensionable pay (or assumed pensionable pay where applicable) you received during that year (plus 1/49th of assumed pensionable pay for any enhancement given if retirement had been on ill health grounds).

 

The pension payable to your spouse is calculated on a different proportion:

 

• 1/160th of the pensionable pay (or assumed pensionable pay where applicable), plus,

• 49/160ths of the amount of any pension credited to your pension account following a transfer of pension rights into the scheme from another pension scheme or arrangement.

• 1/160th of your final pay times the period of your membership in the Scheme up to 31 March 2014 upon which your pension is based, unless you marry after retiring in which case it could be less.

• your husband’s pension is based on your membership after 5 April 1988 your wife’s pension is based on your membership after 5 April 1978

• the survivor’s pension of a same sex marriage is based on your membership after 5 April 1988.
