Finding your long-lost pensions

The little things add up

You might be wondering if it is worth trying to find an old pension scheme. If you haven’t reviewed a plan for a number of years, it’s unlikely you’ll know how well (or badly) your pension investments have performed – and this could make a huge impact on your retirement plans.

If you have a number of small pensions, while they may not seem like they are worth much on their own, their combined value could make a big difference to your retirement.

There is an estimated £400 million in unclaimed pensions in the UK*. It’s worth finding out how much of this is yours.

The Government’s free Pension Tracing Service

The easiest way to find your lost or forgotten pensions is by using the Government’s free Pension Tracing Service. You’ll be shown the contact details for your relevant pension providers and can speak to them directly to find out more.

You can log onto the online service or call 0345 600 2537 to get started.
