Pensions: Consumer Information
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will take steps to ensure that State Pension information is accessible through the pensions dashboard to enable (a) pensioners and (b) people approaching retirement age to make informed decisions.
- Answer
-
Private Pensions information will be available through dashboards. Delivery of these will be led by industry and facilitated by government. We will set out and consult on our proposed approach to delivery, including how to maximise private pension schemes participation in the dashboard in our feasibility report, which will be published shortly.
People can already access the online ‘Check your State Pension’ service through GOV.UK to get a forecast of their State Pension. This includes information about how they may be able to improve the amount of State Pension they are entitled to, as well as providing a view of their National Insurance contribution record. Check Your State Pension service has provided more than ten million online estimates since its introduction in 2016.
