Death in service

Protection for your family due to a death in service.

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.
