Pensions Dashboards
This page is designed to help you understand more about the Pensions Dashboards Programme (PDP).
It includes all the latest updates, including the key timings and what the initiative means to you and your pension(s).
The Pensions Dashboards Programme (PDP) is a government initiative, which will allow you to access information from all your pension providers (including your state pension) together in one place, through a secure online platform.
It has been established by HM Government and the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) to help people to become more engaged with their pensions, encourage better retirement planning and reunite people with their lost pension pots.
Although there will be a number of dashboards provided by different organisations, each one will essentially provide the same information. It just means that you will have more online places to access all your pension details.
Organisations will be allowed to operate a pensions dashboard as long as they have permission from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
The Pensions Dashboards programme is set to launched in April 2025.
All pension providers (or administrators) will be connected to the dashboards so that scheme members can access their data. This will happen in stages, depending on the scheme.
LPPA’s onboarding date for Public Service Pension Schemes is currently set for October 2025. This means that you may be able to see other pension information, such as your state pension before you will see information for your Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS), Firefighters Pension Scheme (FPS) or Police Pension Scheme (PPS). LPPA is unable to change this so please don’t worry if you don’t see your public sector pension immediately – the details will become available in 2025.
We will be working closely with dashboard programme developers to provide your pension information securely. And don’t worry, you will still be able to access your local government, firefighter or police pension details via PensionPoint.
Having access to all your pension information in one place will mean you won’t need to go to different providers (if you have more than one pension) to check your high-level pension details. Instead, the dashboards will:
- Provide clear and simple information about your multiple pension savings, including your State Pension.
- Help you reconnect with any lost pension pots.
- Allow you to become more engaged with your pensions and be in a better position to plan for retirement.
Do I need to do anything?
No, we are taking steps to make sure your member data is accurate, up to date and fully connected to the dashboards by the connection date. We’ll keep you updated as work progresses. In the meantime, you can learn more about the Pensions Dashboards Programme by clicking the links below.
