My Dependants
 
Any pension benefits your scheme provides which are payable to your family on death can differ considerably depending upon whether death occurs before or after you commence drawing your benefits.
 
The difference can be substantial and therefore this aspect of your pension benefit should not be taken for granted.
 
Where one pension arrangement may rigidly define ‘child or children’, another may refer simply to ‘dependant’. Don’t assume that one description fits all and remember that schemes do differ in terms of what they provide and to whom.
