Report a death

Reporting the death of a loved one is something we all hope we never have to do. However, if the worst were to happen, we are anxious to ensure that this process is as painless as it can be for those involved. 

To make the process as straightforward as possible and ensure that any benefits that may be due can be paid quickly and efficiently, please follow the steps below.

What you need to do first

If you are reporting the death of a member of the Mercedes-Benz UK Pension Scheme, you will need to contact the Mercedes-Benz UK Pension Scheme Administrator at:

Email: mercedesbenzpensions@willistowerswatson.com

Phone: 01707 607540

Post: Mercedes-Benz UK Pension Scheme, Willis Towers Watson, PO Box 545, Redhill, Surrey, RH1 1YX

What will you need to provide?

You will need to provide the member’s death certificate. You may find it helpful to obtain several authorised copies of the death certificate as it is likely that a number of organisations may ask to see this.

Benefits may be payable to a spouse, civil partner or dependant - your beneficiary. Before these benefits are paid, the Trustee will need to see a number of original documents (typically as listed below) to make sure that the money is going to the right people.
