Does your pension scheme, recognise civil partnerships?
A civil partnership is a new form of legal relationship that will enable those same-sex couples who choose to do so to obtain legal recognition of their relationship, since they are unable to marry. With effect from 5th December 2005 same-sex couples who have registered their relationship will now be able to provide a survivors pension in the event of their death. The change affects all current contributors plus pensioners and deferred benefit members who left their employment after 5 April 1988.
