Key Facts
In April 2006 the United
Kingdom changed the way in which it dealt with Overseas
Transfers from their UK Pension schemes.
The net result of the
changes was to simplify the procedures and make the transfer
of pension funds easier than it was.
How do I know if I
have a Frozen Pension (Deferred Pension
Entitlement) in the U.K. ?
Consider these points and
call us at 1-888-511-9766, or
email us at
uk2canada@rogers.com as we can make a very quick
assessment of your personal situation.
-
If you paid into a
company pension scheme for less than two years, you
usually received a refund of your own contributions.
-
If you were in the
company pension scheme for more than two years, you
usually qualified for a deferred pension entitlement,
more commonly known as a frozen pension.
-
The age of majority
changed from 21 to 18 on January 1st 1970.
-
Prior to 1970, 21 was
the minimum age for joining a pension scheme.
-
Over the years some
schemes will have changed administrators and/or
ownership.
-
Indeed over the years
some schemes may have been wound up and benefits may
have been lost. In a lot of cases there will still be a
transfer value.
Our job is to track down
any pension entitlement that is due to you.
Even if there is no
entitlement due, at least we will have found that out for
you.
We have a 100% result
rate. Most times we find a frozen pension but in some cases
there is just no entitlement.
