Regulation E23 Nomination of beneficiaries
Subject to paragraph (2), an unmarried person (“the appointor”) may at any time before retirement benefits have been paid, by giving written notice to the Secretary of State, nominate an eligible person who is wholly or mainly financially dependent on the appointor and who is not a child to receive a pension under regulations E24 to E30.
No person may be nominated while a previous nomination under this regulation has effect.
The eligible persons are—
a parent, brother or sister of the appointor who is not married and is either widowed or has never been married, and
a widowed step-parent of the appointor.
A nomination under this regulation may be revoked by giving written notice to the Secretary of State, and if not previously revoked ceases to have effect—
on the death or marriage (or, as the case may be, remarriage) of the person nominated, and
on the marriage of the appointor.
