My aunty's husband who was a civil servant in Lagos State, recently died. Before that, he had made her next of kin for his benefits. 

Although they have paid her husband's Insurance Benefit, they are refusing to pay her his Death Benefit, claiming that the insurance benefit is also the death benefit. 

Lawyers, insurance executives, civil servants and other Knowledgeable people in the house, please help out: Is someone trying to deprive a widow of her husband's death benefit?

Let's help this widow because she needs all the money she can get to take care of the children her husband left behind.

A very Educative and Important thread created in 2017 hitting the front page in 2023?

While a meaningless thread of a small boy fantasizing how he had s*x with a girl in his father's house made front page with the speed of light?

I now believe the People here who have been saying it that Nairaland has gone to the dogs

Thanks so much. It is the same thing in the public sector. However, my aunt has been paid insurance benefit. But she is saying that apart from the insurance benefit, she is also entitled to her husbands death benefit and death gratuity as next of kin. The people that paid her say it is not so. I'm confused as to who is right, but I don't want her not to get the money if she is entitled to it.

Please shed more light on this. Thanks.

Is op still alive ?

Are you after her life?

Just like I said in my earlier post, I don't know much about the public sector If there is still anything called gratuity however, in the private sector once the insurance company has paid the death benefit to the beneficiary who happens to be the wife in this case, the other lump sum the wife is entitled to is the pension of the deceased husband. I think the problem is, she keeps substituting the terminologies for one another . The same thing she is calling death benefit is the same thing as insurance benefit.

I may be wrong tho

A useful post made 6 years ago just found its way to front-page in 2023 and one would wonder what the mods of NL are actually doing.

I hope the OP has already found the solution to his problem.

I think you are right. The insurance is the death benefit as I know it. It’s independent of the accrued pension which will be paid by the pension administrator. If the employer isn’t subscribed to the pension scheme, then the next of kin can claim the accrued pension from the employer separate from the insurance.
