[PN6A.11]
There is no limit on the number of pensions that can be paid
to the widow or widower and dependants of the ex-spouse. No
individual pension may exceed the limit set out in
PSI24.3.3 nor may the total of the
pensions to be paid exceed that which could have been provided for
the ex-spouse member at the date of death.
There are no limits on widows', widowers' or
dependants’ pensions where the pension credit rights are paid
from a simplified defined contribution scheme.
