Bereavement

How to let us know a policyholder has died

Losing a loved one is distressing – thinking about practical matters such as a pension is hard. We’ve tried to make the process of notifying us as easy as possible. We’re here to help through the next steps.

Pension benefits administered by PIC:

If we administer the pension, please contact us using the details on this page. It’s usually best to call so that we can talk you through the process and next steps. Our call handlers will make everything straightforward for you and will answer any questions you might have.

Pension scheme is not administered by PIC:

Please contact the administrators who are responsible for paying the policyholder's pension. They will notify us, so you don’t need to worry about contacting us.
