Pensions dashboards will give people clear and easy-to-understand information about all of their pension savings, including the State Pension.
The government has been working with the pensions industry on dashboards for some time. And although the date for launching them has yet to be confirmed, the Railways Pension Scheme needs to be ready by the end of this year.
It’s essential that your member details are up to date by then, or they might not match with the pensions dashboards correctly.
Here’s what you need to do
Dashboards will use three main pieces of information to match our records:
Surname
Date of birth
National Insurance number
Please check these details are correct in the ‘membership details’ area of your myRPS account. This will help make sure your dashboard information is accurate when it’s ready to launch.
If your information isn’t correct, please let us know by emailing csu@railpen.com. You must include evidence of the correct information or we will not be able to make any changes to your records. Evidence could be a scanned copy or photograph of your:
Marriage certificate
Birth certificate
National Insurance card, payslip or P60
