Death benefits application
Completion of this form does not guarantee entitlement to benefits.
Important: Changes to our application process
The SPPA is focused on making our processes as simple as possible for our members, their
representatives and employers. Given the challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, we
are asking applicants to email all application forms and supporting documents to the SPPA
rather than post physical copies.
The following changes to the application process have been made to ensure that applicants can
continue to access pension benefits as quickly as possible:
A PDF form you can fill in electronically
You do not need to print out this document. Just fill it in electronically and return it to us by
email. Please send it to sppacontactus@gov.scot
Signatures
We have amended our signature process to make it easier if you don’t have access to a printer
or scanner. We are now temporarily accepting forms with digital signatures. Please type your
name into the relevant signature box for the form to be accepted.
By doing this, you must provide consent in your email for the SPPA to process your application.
Supporting Documents
Supporting documentation should still be scanned and emailed, where possible. We appreciate
that there will be cases where a scanned document cannot be provided, so we are now
accepting electronic photographs of documents (providing that they are clear and complete
images of the entire document).
If you cannot send us any supporting documents, in some cases we may be able to make a
partial payment of benefits provisionally before the supporting certificates have been received.
We will still require copies of these certificates to be sent and verified before a full award of
benefits can be made. If you do not supply the supporting documents then the provisional
payments will stop and any benefits that have been paid will be recovered.
Where to get further help
If you need help with your application please contact our Customer Engagement team on 01896

Guidance for completing form Teachers DTH app – application for death benefits
Section 1: Deceased member’s personal details
Personal details of the deceased member.
Section 2: Applicant’s personal details
Details of the person to whom the death gratuity, deficiency payment or surviving partner’s pension is
payable. This will be paid directly to your bank or building society account. Please ensure your full details
are entered.
A death grant is payable to the member’s spouse, civil partner, death grant nominee, surviving eligible
partner, or nominated dependant relative. If none of the above apply, and the member has not made a
death grant nomination, the death grant is payable to the estate.
Under the Teachers’ Regulations, benefits may be payable to a surviving partner upon the members
death. To be eligible, the member must have accrued service post 1 April 2007. The benefits will be paid
to the surviving partner, provided that at the date of death the member and partner were:
Living together in an exclusive committed long term relationship of at least 2 years
Free to marry or enter a civil partnership
Financially interdependent
To ensure that the SPPA is satisfied that the above criteria is met at the time of the member’s death the
partner will be asked to provide supporting evidence. Examples of supporting evidence may include:
Confirmation that you lived in a shared household
Confirmation of shared household spending
Shared bank accounts or investments
A loan or mortgage in joint names
Wills naming each other as the main beneficiary
A mutual power of attorney
The partner being nominated as the main beneficiary of life insurance
The death of the member leading to substantive extra living costs for the partner
If the SPPA holds details of a nominated dependant relative, such as a parent, brother, sister or step
parent to receive a survivor pension, the relative must be financially dependant on the member at the
date of death. The SPPA will write to the nominee for confirmation of his or her financial circumstances.
If the applicant is the “Legal Personal Representative”, Confirmation of Estate must be exhibited as soon
as possible to enable us to pay the death grant.
Section 3: Declaration
This should be signed in all cases. If the person signing is doing so on behalf of the spouse or civil
partner, please provide a copy of the Power of Attorney. If the amount payable exceeds £5,000, the
SPPA may request Confirmation of Estate.
Teachers DTH APP 20/05/2020
Section 4: Details of dependent children
If there are any dependent children aged 17 years or over (in full time education or training) for whom
you wish to claim a pension, please provide:
The name and address of the educational establishment attended
The expected date of termination of the education or training
The annual rate of any income received by the child.
If there any dependent children aged 17 years or over, who are incapable through infirmity of earning
their own living and for whom you wish to claim pension, please provide a medical certificate confirming:
The nature of the incapacity
The date from which the child became incapacitated – and whether the incapacity is temporary
or permanent.
If applicable, please provide details of the legal guardian(s) of the child(ren) in Section 5.
Section 5: Guardian’s details
Please give details of the guardian(s) of the child(ren) and provide proof of guardianship, such as a
Court of Protection Order. If either the short-term or long-term pension is to be paid to the guardian(s),
please provide bank details. This will allow the SPPA to make payment direct to the specified account.
Section 6: Certificates
Copies of the following certificates (where applicable) should be included, please note that benefits may
not be paid until all appropriate certificates have been received:
Death certificate showing marital status (certified copy) – this is required in all cases
Marriage certificate if the deceased member was married when they died
Birth certificate of applicant
Civil registration certificate if the deceased member had a registered civil partnership when they
died
Child(ren)’s birth certificates if the deceased member had any children (see Section 6)
Adoption certificate if eligible children were adopted
Power of Attorney (certified) if the person signing the declaration is not legally entitled to receive
family benefits and is signing on behalf of the spouse or civil partner.
Lifetime Allowance (LTA)
All death grants and supplementary death grants are subject to LTA checks to ensure that the amount
due is within the limits set by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
The executor of the estate needs to check whether the total benefits payable are within the Lifetime
Allowance. If the LTA is exceeded, a LTA charge will become payable. It is the executor’s responsibility
to inform HMRC where the total benefits exceed the lifetime allowance and to pay any tax due. Any
enquiries you have regarding this should be directed to HMRC.
At the time the death grant is calculated, the SPPA will provide the percentage of the LTA this payment
represents. Payment of this death lump sum must be made within two years of the date of death. It is
important that we are provided with all the information required as soon as possible.
