Company pensions

[denisegordon]

My husband has changed jobs a few times, and on a few of these he paid into the company pension. How do we make sure he gets his pensions when he retires? Is it just a case of always making sure the companies have his contact details? Or would it be the pension administrators maybe not the (small) companies themselves? He's in his late 30s so it is still a long time until retiral.

One thing individuals often forget to do when they move house is notify their former pension scheme providers so obviously it's crucially important to keep them up to date with your whereabouts so their records are acurate.. Also with the new pension laws about to change it may be that if your husband acquires several pension providers over a lifetime and could talk to a financial adviser about the possibility of being able to amalgamating them. Every scheme is different so expert advice would be required.
