Department for Work and Pensions written question – answered at on 16 October 2018.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether it is her Department's policy that all pensions provider will be required to sign up to the pensions dashboard; and whether the state pension will be included in the pensions dashboard.
I published a written statement providing an update on pensions including the pensions dashboard. (https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2018-09-04/HCWS933/)
We are working through the options around scheme participation in any potential pensions dashboard. The decision whether to legislate to compel participation depends on a number of factors such as the potential service design, delivery model and governance arrangements. Our findings on this will be included in the feasibility study which will be published shortly.
People can access the online ‘Check your State Pension’ service through GOV.UK to get a forecast of their State Pension, where they can get information about how they may be able to improve it, as well as view their National Insurance contribution record. Check Your State Pension has provided more than ten million online estimates since its introduction in 2016. As part of our feasibility work we have been considering whether State Pension data should be available alongside private pension information.
