BGCM EC May 2017

If you were divorced, or had terminated a Civil Partnership before you died, and if a pension sharing order was made as part of the divorce or separation proceedings, the pensions payable to your former Partner and Eligible Children will be adjusted as required by the pension sharing order. See Section 14.

Notes about Qualifying Children’s benefits

Qualifying Children's pensions can only be paid for so long as they remain Qualifying Children. This means that their pension will stop being paid at the end of the month when they reach the age of 23, unless they were, in the opinion of the Trustees, dependent on you because of a physical or mental impairment at the date of your death. If there is more than one Qualifying Child who is eligible for a pension, the pension payable to the younger children will not be increased because an older child ceases to be a Qualifying Child.
