Type of survivor (Family Members form)

This set of buttons is available if the type of benefit is survivor. The type of survivor affects the benefit of some survivors where entitlement is 1985 or later, because starting in that year, the re-indexed widow(er) guarantee calculation applies, but only to aged or disabled widow(er) survivors. Choose one of the following:

• Child: Child beneficiary.
• Mother or Father: Parent of a child beneficiary.
• Disabled widow(er): Disabled widow(er) (aged 50-59).
• Divorced disabled widow(er): Divorced disabled widow(er) (aged 50-59).
• Aged widow(er): Aged widow(er) (aged 60 or over).
• Divorced aged widow(er): Divorced aged widow(er) (aged 60 or over).
