Tracing a pension:
The Pension Tracing Service holds details of pension schemes, including the LGPS, together with contact addresses. It provides a tracing service for ex-members of schemes with pension entitlements (and their dependants) who have lost touch with previous schemes. All occupational and personal pension schemes have to register if the pension scheme has current members contributing to the scheme or people expecting benefits from the scheme. If you need to use this tracing service please write to:
The Pension Tracing Service, The Pension Service 9, Mail Handling Site A, Wolverhampton, WV98 1LU, Telephone 0800 731 0193
