We have recently identified an issue on PensionPoint where some documents are displaying at 400 per cent instead of 100 per cent (so the page appears blank).

 

We are working hard to fix this issue. In the meantime, you may be able to resolve it by changing the zoom settings on your page – from 400 per cent to 100 per cent.

You have three attempts to log in to PensionPoint before your account is locked.

Your P60

If you have previously received your P60s via My Pension Online, any future P60s will be available on PensionPoint in the same way.

When you first log in to PensionPoint, you should be able to access your P60s and payslips from the previous three years by clicking on My documents. These will be available to view by the end of April 2022.
