Have you claimed all of your pensions?

Tuesday, 21 February 2012

Chances are that if you've had more than one job over the years that you've got multiple pension schemes. But if you've lost track of your pensions, how do you go about tracing them?

If you moved between jobs while working you may have a pension with more than one employer. Find out how to find and claim your money.

The Pension Tracing Service can help you trace a pension that you’ve lost track of, even if you don’t have the contact details of the provider. Collect as much information as you can about the employer: any previous names it had, the type of business it ran, whether it changed address, and when you belonged to the scheme.

Call the Pension Tracing Service on 0845 600 2537 who will check your information against its database of pension schemes. They should be able to give you details of the pension’s administrator, whom you would then need to contact to ask for your pension to be paid.
