Any LGPS experts?

Last year I assisted a friend who had inherited a LGPS pension after the death of her father. She received an “eligible child’s pension” even though an adult due to disability.

She received a lower amount as her father was married and his spouse received a widows pension.

Now the fathers wife has passed away and her pension has stopped. Does this mean the daughters pension should be recalculated as there is no spousal pension being paid or is the calculation that was done at the time of her fathers death the one that stands for life?

It depends on the scheme member's dates of service and date of death, among other factors.

The LGPS administrators should have picked this up when they were notified of the spouse's death, but if nothing was said then I recommend that you ring them with this specific query - they will have all the necessary data at hand.
