Number Crunching and Taking Action - 2024/25 Case Studies

Learners should be aware that there WILL BE CHANGES for the next series of CPC examinations in September 2024. 

For Deaths, learners will now be expected to test the monetary value of any lump sum death benefits against the monetary value of the deceased member’s remaining LS&DBA.   

Example Case Studies are available as normal in the Case Studies section of this website. 

For Number Crunching:

Take a look at an individual Case Study from the Number Crunching column.

Calculate the DEATH benefits payable (using the appropriate Scheme Booklet and Tables of Factors).

Check your answers against the answers provided in the Answer column.

For Taking Action:

For the chosen Case Study, write a letter to the trustees / beneficiaries to communicate the DEATH benefits payable and the action to be taken.

Compare the contents of your letter with the information required to be communicated from the Taking Action column.
