The answer to your question may depend on the specific rules and regulations of the pension scheme that your grandparents were enrolled in. Different pension schemes may have different eligibility criteria and conditions for the payment of pension benefits to the dependents of deceased pensioners. Therefore, it is advisable to contact the pension provider or authority and inquire about the details of your grandparents’ pension scheme and the possibility of claiming it as their grandson. In most cases, a grandson cannot get a pension of his grandparents if they have expired, unless he was legally adopted by them or was financially dependent on them at the time of their death. This is because most pension schemes only pay benefits to the spouse, civil partner, or children of the deceased pensioner, and not to other relatives.
