LOST TRACK OF A COMPANY PENSION?

If you think you built up some pension benefit in a previous employment but have lost track of it, help may be available. The Pension Tracing Service, provided by the Government at no charge, may be able to help put you in contact with the scheme so you establish any entitlement you have. The Pension Tracing Service is part of The Pension Service. They will try and help you trace a pension even if you are not sure of the contact details. They have access to information on over 200,000 pension schemes and they will use this database, free of charge, to search for your pension. They may be able to provide you with current contact details for a pension scheme. They will need as much information as possible including your National Insurance Number, the name of the employer and when you worked there. You can complete an online pension tracing form or you can telephone the Pension Tracing Service on 0845 6002537 (8:00 am to 6:00 pm). You can also write to them at Pension Tracing Service, Tyneview Park, Whitley Road, Newcastle Upon Tyne NE98 1BA.
