Reporting the death of a former member

To report the death of a former scheme member please contact the pensions team directly on 01628 796 668.

Alternatively you can contact us by email info@berkshirepensions.org.uk

For information our postal address is: Royal County of Berkshire Pension Fund, Zone C, Town Hall, St Ives Road, Maidenhead, Berkshire, SL6 1RF

When contacting us we will require the following information:

  • Full name of scheme member
  • Date of death
  • National Insurance number
  • Next of kin details
Notifying us through Tell Us Once (TUO)

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.
