What to do

 


The process is designed to keep your work to a minimum and to gather the required pension information in the most efficient way. To summarise:

  • Please complete an Instruction Form and Pension Scheme Information Form. These forms require straight forward information on each of the pensions on which you require a report.

  • Your client will need to sign a Letter of Authority. This form of authority is designed to be used for all your client's pensions although you must of course provide contact and reference details for each of these.

  • If your client is not the Pensions Scheme Member, you will need to arrange for the member to provide the necessary pension information and to sign a Letter of Authority.

  • If you have already obtained information from the pension provider in the course of completing the Form E, please attach this to the documentation.

  • Send the completed documents to Penfam, Links Cottage,384 Seafront, Hayling Island, Hampshire, PO11 0BD.

  • We will contact the pension providers directly asking for all the pensions information required.

  • You will normally receive the report within 10 working days of our receipt of the necessary information from your pension provider/s. We will contact you if there is any delay. If you have any deadline by which the report is required, please indicate this on the Instruction Form.

NB:

A.  It is not our intention to report upon or value the spouses' additional state pensions. You can obtain a valuation by completing Form BR20 obtainable from the Department of Work and Pensions at;

www.thepensionservice.gov.uk

If consideration is being given to sharing an additional state pension a supplemental report may be required. A forecast of the basic and additional state pension can be obtained by completing Form BR19 on the DWP website.

B. Our report will not cover certain pensions e.g. small self administered schemes, unapproved arrangements and overseas schemes.  These can, however, be dealt with by means of a supplemental report.


C. In some circumstances our standard report will not be appropriate to your needs. Our consultants will contact you to discuss our supplemental advice service.
