All Arriva employees, not Casual Workers, (excluding the Train Operating Companies, contributing members of the LNWR Section of the Railways Pension Scheme, and contributing members of The Merseyside Pension Fund *) are covered for a Life Assurance benefit, whilst they are in the employ of Arriva. *These employees are covered for death in service benefits in accordance with membership of their own pension scheme.
Most employees benefit from Life Assurance equal to 1x Gross Earnings in the prior tax year. Some employees have higher levels of cover or different salary definitions because of having previously been in a different scheme, or because of a specific contractual agreement. You will have been notified if this affects you.
Expression of Wish
If you die whilst employed by Arriva, the Trustee of the Life Assurance Scheme needs to decide who to pay the benefits to. Completing an Expression of Wish form ensures that the Trustees will take into consideration your wishes when paying out benefits to your beneficiaries. Note - the scheme is discretionary and therefore the Expression of Wish form is for guidance to the Trustee only.
Please remember to complete a new expression of wish form whenever your personal circumstances change.
Please return this form to [email protected] or by post to Arriva Life Assurance Admin Team, 1 Admiral Way, Doxford International Business Park, Sunderland, SR3 3XP. Do not send this form to HR or payroll.

Claims
We hope that your family never needs to make a claim, but if they do, the process is straightforward. As soon as the Depot/Payroll or HR are notified of your death your family will be provided with the relevant forms for completion. Once the completed forms are received by the relevant parties, arrangements will be made for the claim to be processed. The Trustee may need some information from your family to help process the claim, and the scheme administrator will stay connected to help them through the process.
