Does the TfL Pension Fund provide me with life cover? 

The Fund provides life cover of 4 times your pensionable salary while you are an active member of the Fund.  We recommend that you complete an Expression of Wish form and keep it up to date so that in the event of the death in service lump sum being payable, the Trustees will know your wishes in relation to the distribution of any lump sum payable.  Whilst the Expression of Wish form is not binding on the Trustees, they will always consider the Expression of Wish form when deciding how the lump sum death benefit is to be paid.
