No your pension will cease when your ex- spouse dies.

Your current pension is due to be reduced from the effective date in the pension sharing order.

If there is any overpayment of your pension as a consequence of the order it will be recovered from your future pension payments.

The rules on the continuation of a child's pension differ slightly depending on whether the member was in receipt of a pension before 6 April 2006 or not.

If the member was receiving a pension prior to 6 April 2006, the child's pension will continue until they are 17 or until they leave full-time education.

If the member's pension came into payment after 5 April 2006, the child will continue to receive a pension until age 17 unless they continue in full-time education up to a maximum age of 23. In all cases, if the child marries, takes up employment or dies, the pension will cease.

Once you've returned the Application for death benefits form, along with the appropriate certificates, Teachers' Pensions will confirm all details of family benefits in writing. If there are any payments to be made, we'll write to you and any other beneficiaries outlining any benefits that are due to each party.

In the case where the deceased member was receiving a pension, if there has been an overpayment, we'll confirm the amount that will need to be returned to us.

No, you'll continue to receive your pension as a pension credit member of the Scheme.
