General queries or problems

If you have any pension queries or problems, you should first contact the People Admin Team.

If you are unable to resolve your query or problem in this way, there are other channels you can use:

Scheme documents

  • Report and Accounts
    Each year the Trustees of the Scheme report on the progress of the Scheme together with the formal Accounts. A copy of the Report and Accounts is available on request from People Admin.
  • Trust Deed and Rules
    You can also ask People Admin to see a copy of the Trust Deed and Rules of the Scheme. You will be kept informed of any changes made to the Scheme.
  • Benefit statements
    You are sent a benefit statement each year showing your personal benefits under the Scheme.

Tracing previous pension rights

All approved pension schemes, like ours, have to provide up to date contact details to the Pension Tracing Service. If you have lost track of your deferred benefits under a previous scheme, you can contact the Pension Tracing Service who will provide you with an up-to-date address of the trustees of that scheme.

Internal disputes procedure

The Scheme has an internal disputes procedure to resolve any disputes between the Trustees and members and beneficiaries. You will need to put your complaint in writing and you will receive a written decision, where possible within two months. If you are still dissatisfied, you have the right to appeal to the Trustees.
