Sometimes life changing in an instant is a good thing…
But this situation has nothing good about it, and all you can feel is the heart-breaking loss of your loved one. Nothing is the same, and never will be again. And along with the struggles of adapting to the changed reality is the struggle to deal with paperwork. Life Ledger knows that the admin side of dealing with loss can exaggerate the pain. So we are going to offer you help with that. You need to find out how to notify the Hounslow Pension Fund of a death, so let’s begin there:
How do I notify the Hounslow Pension Fund of a death?
There are several ways in which they can be informed:
- Call them on 01274 434999
- Email to them at pensions@wypf.org.uk
- In writing to them at
WYPF
PO Box 67
Bradford
BD1 1UP
There is another way: register the death with Life Ledger and allow us to make the notification. Moreover, you don’t have to restrict yourself to just notifying the West Yorkshire Pension Fund: you can make as many notifications as you need through the site.
Complete a short process to verify your identity, upload a copy of the death certificate, and enter the details needed by each company. Press send when you’re ready, and the notification has been done.
What information do I need to inform the Hounslow Pension Fund of a death?
Most pension companies require similar information, so you should have the following information to hand when you contact them in the first place:
- Member’s pension scheme number and employee number
- Their National Insurance number
- Date of Death and personal details
- The name and contact details of the person dealing with the death – don’t forget, if this isn’t you, that you will need to receive their permission to be able to pass on their details
- If possible, any information you have regarding anyone who was financially dependent upon them at the time of their death, for example a spouse or civil partner, or children
What happens next?
West Yorkshire Pension Fund, as well as other companies, have internal procedures that have to be followed. But they will keep you updated with what is happening.
Knowing this situation can be very difficult to traverse, Life Ledger has created a simple guide to help you see the steps. It will show you what you may still have to do, and confirm how to do it. Informing all the companies is naturally the biggest task that you have to complete. But allowing Life Ledger to do this will give you the time to focus on other important things. As well as peace of mind that the notifications have been done. There won’t be any last-minute surprises, either, as the service is completely free to use. And there is no limit to the amount of notifications that you can make through the site.
