Nomination Form

Payment of Death Benefits
As a member of the Local Government Pension Scheme you may complete a nomination form in order to "nominate" a Dependant or Beneficiary who you would like to benefit from any lump-sum payment payable under the Scheme Regulations as a result of your death.

Please complete a nomination form only if you wish to nominate a beneficiary to whom any payments due may be directed following your death.

The purpose of making a nomination is to assist Wolverhampton CC ("the Scheme Administrators") in deciding to whom any payment(s) may be made.

Although the nominated beneficiary would normally be your next of kin, you may nominate any person or organisation of your choice and such requests would be considered by the Scheme Administrators.

The main advantage in making a nomination is that the payment could be made direct to your chosen beneficiary without forming a part of your estate (i.e. the payment does not count for Inheritance Tax purposes).

You can amend/update your nomination at any time by completing another Nomination Form.

Important

The nomination form is not a Will.

Although the Scheme Administrators would always want to comply with your wishes they have absolute discretion in deciding where, or to whom, any payment is to be directed.
