Are you concerned about a lost pension? Or, are you not sure if you have any lost pensions in your name? You are not alone. It is more common than you might think to lose contact with an old pension provider. People move jobs, change addresses, switch providers and sometimes the paperwork does not follow along, reuslting in lost pensions that you don’t want to go to waste.
Here at SMH, we are here to help you take control of your current and future finances. If you think you may have a pension you have not checked in a while, the Government’s free Pension Tracing Service can help you find the contact details you need. It does not tell you the value of your pension, but it will point you towards the right provider so you can make your own enquiries.
You can use the official search tool here:https://www.gov.uk/find-pension-contact-details
It is particularly useful if you have:
- Changed employers several times
- Misplaced older pension paperwork
- Been part of a workplace scheme that has since merged or changed name
This service helps you reconnect with the provider directly, meaning you stay in control of the process without needing to contact us, unless you want advice on next steps.
If you need support understanding how your pensions fit into your wider financial planning, contact our Financial Services team on 0114 266 4432 or email info@smh.group.
