In TS 23.401 4.7.2.1 mention that
"Every dedicated EPS bearer is associated with a TFT. A TFT may be also assigned to the default EPS bearer."

and in TS 24.301 6.4.1.1 mention that
"The default EPS bearer context does not have any TFT assigned during the activation procedure(when default EPS bearer has been established). This corresponds to using a match-all packet filter. The network may at anytime after the establishment of this bearer assign a TFT to the default EPS bearer and may subsequently modify the TFT or the packet filters of this default bearer."
