How do pensions get lost?

It's very easy to lose track of your pensions, and after years of working hard - losing track of your pension is an inconvenience and we don't all have the time to keep track of our policies which means losing your pension is easier than ever. 

There are multiple ways that could make you either lose or forget about your pension, such as moving address.

Why use the Pension Tracing Service?

Simple, we're here to help

You've been busy working hard, and you may have just lost track. Maybe you moved house, changed jobs, or simply didn't notice when the letters stopped arriving in the post. Life happens, your pension got lost -- and it's not going to come looking for you.

Tracking down a forgotten or lost pension shouldn't be so complicated. While there are many reasons why your pension has gone astray, what's important is that it's recovered.
