Reporting the death of a Member
To report the death of a scheme member please contact the pension team directly on 01628 796 668. Alternatively, you can contact us by email info@berkshirepensions.org.uk
When contacting us we will require the following information:
- Full name of member
- Date of death
- National Insurance number
- Next of kin details
Notifying us through 'Tell Us Once'
Tell Us Once (TUO) is a service that lets an individual reporting a death inform many Government organisations in one go.
At a stressful time, it saves the individual from having to contact a number of different organisations, and for the organisations themselves, means they get informed of the death quickly, from a central location, and officially, meaning separate verification is not needed.
If a match is found through TUO, the Berkshire Pension Fund will receive a formal notification of the death including the next of kin/executor details.
Visit the Tell Us Once page on the GOV.UK website for more information on this service.
