This petition was submitted during the 2019 to 2024 Parliament
Rejected petition Terminally ill can claim state pension up until death before pensionable age
Rejected on
After Death Nominated Beneficaries recieve a % lump sump from the monies left in the pension pot
For example :- a £100,000 pot with 4 named Benefiaries each would recieve £25,000 Tax Free
In my case I would nominate my two Daughter's as Beneficiaries aged 25 & 21 this payment would go a long way to enable them to get a mortgage and on the Property ladder, which in turn would give the housing Market a boost

The state pension gives people an entitlement to a weekly payment once they reach state pension age. Individuals do not have a personal "pension pot", which could be distributed to inheritors.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
