Again, banking details should be provided by completing Sections 1, 7, 8 (if you
wish to register for the Pension Password Service PPS) and 9 of the
Beneficiary’s Form.
Payslips
You will receive payslips in April and May plus a P60 which we are required, by
law, to issue for each Tax Year. You should keep it safe because, although
duplicate P60’s can be issued, a charge of £5 + VAT will be made for each
duplicate provided.
After producing your first payslip our payroll system will normally only produce a
payslip if your monthly net amount varies by more than £5 from the previous
month.
Your pension will always be paid into your account every month whether
you receive a payslip or not.
Lump sum death grant
If the deceased had a valid nomination in force, SYPA will normally pay the lump
sum death grant direct to the nominee(s). SYPA may, in certain circumstances,
however, decide to pay some or all of the lump sum death grant to the estate.
Where all or part of the grant is to be paid to the estate, payment will be made as
soon as possible after the production of the legal documents proving entitlement
to the estate. These are known as:
Grant of Probate of the will; or
Letters of Administration;
depending upon whether a Last Will and Testament exists; they are available
from the District Probate Office. The office in South Yorkshire is at:
The Laws Courts, 50 West Bar, Sheffield S3 8YR. Tel: 0114 2812596
If the lump sum death grant amounts to less than £5,000 and neither the Grant
of Probate nor Letters of Administration are being obtained, payment will be
made if a claim is received from the personal representative.
