If you die while holding deferred benefits, a lump sum death grant may be payable to your estate or nominated beneficiary.
The amount received depends on when you left the Scheme:
If you hold more than one deferred LGPS pension (and are not an active member at the time of death), a death grant may be payable from each.
However, if you're both an active and deferred member at the time of death, only one grant is payable, whichever is higher between the death in service lump sum, and the deferred lump sum(s).
