Answer
The Department has not undertaken such an estimate.
As part of the Government’s 2014 review of survivor benefits in occupational pension schemes, in assessing the likely cost of retrospectively equalising survivor benefits for past periods of accrual, the Government Actuary’s Department did estimate what proportion of female members of the scheme have service before 1988.
