If there is no nomination form, and if the member was married as at the date of death, then any death grant due would indeed normally be paid to the spouse. But if you want to nominate anyone else (children/local cat's home) then you'll need to complete a nomination/expression of wishes form.
Spouses/partners/children's pensions are only paid to those eligible to receive them, so member nomination forms are not required.0 -

So does that mean that the surviving spouse receives 50% DB pension for life following death of either?
