After April 2016 SP age:
I'm sure buried (sorry) somewhere within DWP's webby (that takes me round in ever decreasing circles) is what happens to your deferred SP if you die while in deferment...but I can't find it.
Anyone on here know?
Is it paid to your estate? Spouse? Taxed? Trousered by DWP?
And similarly what happens if you die if say you deferred for say 10 years and died the year after you started taking it?
