SASS child pensions

Children's pensions are only payable after the death of a transferred LGPF contributor or pensioner. If a transferred LGPF contributor or pensioner dies, a children's pension may be payable, but only to a dependent child. A dependent child in relation to a deceased transferred contributor or pensioner means:

• a child of that contributor, who has not attained 16 years of age, or

• a child of that contributor, who has attained 16 years of age but not 25 years of age and who is, in the opinion of the trustees, receiving full-time education at a school, college or university, and is not ordinarily employed or engaged in working for remuneration.

A dependent child must also have been wholly or substantially dependent on the transferred contributor or pension member immediately before that contributor's death.
