The NHS Pensions Finance team is now processing Initial Widow Pension (IWP) claims paperless and therefore require the FIN9 claim form in a PDF format for audit purposes and with a view to eliminating fraud.
Please send the FIN9 claim form via email as a PDF attachment direct to the finance team at nhsbsa.eafinance@nhs.net
Please do not email the FIN9 form with any Bereavement forms – keep them separate. The benefit to employers is that this will reduce time for the NHS Pensions Finance team to receive and process the claim and improve our service to both employers and members.
