FAQ: Are GP locums entitled to death in service payments?

It’s complicated. The bottom line is that, in most cases, if you contribute to the NHS Pension scheme and all the NHS work you perform is as a GP locum, then the DIS payout your dependents receive on your death could be much less than if you were working in other roles.

Will you get your death-in-service benefit?
