Would it be possible for you to provide more information - and sorry for the personal questions. I presume from your post he has passed away - is that right.

Is/was your dad still in service i.e. working, was he receiving his pension or did he have deferred benefits from a previous LGPS service. That all affects any death and survivor benefits.

As for payouts of death benefits - that may vary depending on the scheme administrator (i.e. which local authority pension fund). Some are more efficient than others.

It sounded from your post, your father was still alive? So why the rush?
