If you have worked for the Civil Service, you may be entitled to a Civil Service pension. We may not however, have a record of your pension if:

  • you worked for an employer outside of the Civil Service
  • you do not qualify for a Civil Service pension
  • your former employer has not sent us your pension details

Follow the steps to trace your pension.

Confirm your pension was with the Civil Service

If you have a pension statement, payslip or evidence from HMRC showing you were a member of a Civil Service pension scheme, jump to step 3.

If you worked for another employer outside of the Civil Service, for example:

  • Post Office
  • Police
  • Social Services
  • Local Authority
  • NHS

you should contact the administrator of your former employer's pension scheme. You can use the free online pension tracing service to find their contact details.
