If you remarry, enter into a new civil partnership or cohabit with someone your pension will be stopped. You should let us know if your circumstances change so we can tell you how your pension will be affected.If your remarriage or co-habitation comes to an end let us know so we can let you know if your pension can be reinstated.
If you are receiving a nominated co-habiting partner's pension it is payable to you for the rest of your life. Nominated co-habiting partner's pensions can only apply where your partner was an employee in England and Wales who paid into the LGPS after 1 April 2008, or was an employee or councillor in Scotland who paid into the LGPS after 1 April 2009, and where your relationship met certain conditions and submitted an application form.
As you are already receiving a dependant's pension from the LGPS, there are no further benefits payable after your death.
Your LGPS pension increases in April every year in line with the inflation.
