If you get Review, this will be the last edition we automatically send you through the post. You’ll still be able to read it online, and, if you’re registered for the website, we’ll email you to tell you when the next edition is out.

If you prefer to continue receiving paper copies of your communications, you'll need to tell us.

Read the ‘How I want to hear about my pension’ page to find out more.

It’s really important to register for a myRPS account for access to your pension documents.

As well as accessing your pension documents, you can use your myRPS account to manage your pension. This includes changing your address, requesting estimates, making death benefit nominations, and managing the way any additional voluntary contribution funds are invested. It only takes a couple of minutes to register for a myRPS account.

When you’ve logged in to your myRPS account you can also use the pension planning tools. You can try the Retirement Budgeting Calculator to see how much income you might need in retirement to enjoy the lifestyle you hope for. And you can use the Pension Planner to check how making certain changes, such as paying additional voluntary contributions may affect your pension, and model how you might want to take your pension benefits.
