It’s estimated that around £31 billion is sitting in lost pension pots in the UK, the result of people changing jobs and losing touch with their former schemes. A major aim of the new pensions dashboards project – scheduled to launch next year – is to reduce the problem of lost pension pots. Until the dashboards go live, you can use the government’s free Pension Tracing Service to locate old pensions. You can phone the service directly on 0800 731 0175 or visit www.gov.uk/find-pension-contact-details
