If you think you've lost, misplaced or forgotten about a pension you paid in to in a previous job then there’s a free service you can use to help trace it.
Changes in our life circumstances (such as moving house or job, for example) can sometimes break the relationship between a pension fund and the pension holder.
In UK there are over four million unclaimed pension entitlements so it is worth checking and it doesn’t cost anything.
Government Pension Tracing Service
There is a government body that may be able to assist you - the Pension Tracing Service which provides a service free of charge.
Simply go to www.gov.uk/find-lost-pension
Also, don’t forget to keep your pension providers up to date with any change in your home address and email details.
