Nothing can prepare us for the loss of a loved one
We may think that we are prepared, but we can never prepare for the hole that appears in our life. The feelings can be overwhelming and compounded by the amount of clerical and admin tasks that you need to do. But that is where Life Ledger can help, by taking the task of notifying companies of your loss. You came to the site to find out how to notify the Southern Electric & Scottish Hydro Electric Pension Schemes of a death, and we can begin there.
How do I notify Southern Electric & Scottish Hydro Electric Pension Schemes of a death?
There are a few ways in which to contact them:
- Call them on 0345 071 9622
- Email them on pensions-se@sse.com
- Write to them at
- SSE Pensions Department
- Inveralmond House
200 Dunkeld Road
Perth
PH1 3AQ
Another way is to register the death with Life Ledger and have them make the notification. There is a short process of verifying your identity, upload a copy of the death certificate and enter details requested by the Pension Scheme and then press send. The notification is done.
You have some more notifications to make? Okay, so enter the details for more companies and again press send for each when you’re ready. Done. There is no limit to the number of notifications you can make through the site.
What information do I need to inform the Southern Electric & Scottish Hydro Electric Pension Schemes of a death?
Most pension companies require the same information when being notified, so you should include this information in the first contact you have with them:
- Member’s pension scheme number and employee number
- Their National Insurance number
- Date of Death and personal details
- The name and contact details of the person dealing with the death – don’t forget, if this isn’t you, that you will need to receive their permission to be able to pass on their details
- If possible, any information you have regarding anyone who was financially dependent upon them at the time of their death, for example a spouse or civil partner, or children
What happens next?
They will, of course, have their own processes to follow and they will let you know what they will be.
In the broader sense, of course, this whole situation can be confusing and frustrating in the extreme. Which is why Life Ledger has created a simple-to-follow guide that will help you to see what you have done, and what you have left to do. By far the biggest task is going to be notifying the companies of your loss.
That is where Life Ledger really will help you: allowing us to make the notifications is going to free your time so that you can spend it on other more important things. It will also give you peace of mind, because you won’t have to stress about researching each company and how to contact them. Oh, also, our service is completely free of charge – there are going to be no invoices, and no credit details will be taken. One other thing that you won’t have to worry about.
