I need to report a death

Please accept our condolences for your loss. We know this is a difficult time and so we’ve set out what you need to do from a Rolls-Royce pensions perspective as simply as possible below.

To report a death, please complete our online form, which can be started by clicking on this link. Alternatively, you can call us on 01332 333335 between 8am and Midday, Monday to Thursday. Please make sure that you have the following details to hand before you start:

• The member's pension number or national insurance number. If you cannot find either of these details, we’ll ask you for their full name and date of birth
• The date that the member passed away
• Details of a spouse, civil partner or financially dependent individual who may be entitled to dependant’s benefits
• Your name and email address so that we can respond and provide further information

As soon as possible after reporting the death, we'll email you with the information your (or the executor) may need for tax purposes and to request any further information we require. 

We'll keep in touch with you until we are in a position to confirm payment of any benefits. At that point, we will contact the beneficiary directly for privacy reasons, unless:

• the nominated person has Lasting Power of Attorney or is a Deputy appointed by the Court of Protection for the beneficiary or;
• the beneficiary has given their written consent to have information sent to the nominated person

Dependant pensioners can also register for access to their pension through this website as soon as we confirm their pension has been set-up for payment. Their pension number will be confirmed to them when this happens and they'll need this when registering.
