A dependant’s pension entitlement does not have to come
into payment with effect from the date of the member’s death.
It may be deferred and start at a later date, for example because
there are continuing guaranteed pension payments, or because the
dependant is still young.
Whether or not a dependant’s pension entitlement can be
deferred in this way, and for how long, will depend on the terms of
the scheme rules or the wording of the relevant annuity
contract.
