My Sister died in 1/8/2013 her name was Teresa Anne Edwards she left school at 15 and worked for Sainsbury's for years in the Shenley Road Branch in Borehamwood so she paid into your pension for years. What happens to the pension when that pension died does it get paid to someone else? I would welcome your support in this matter thank you
