We know that many pension savers in the UK may be concerned about the security of their retirement savings, especially in the current situation, where scammers are taking advantage of people. So we’ve teamed up with other UK pension bodies to put together some straightforward guidance. https://www.ppf.co.uk/covid-19-pensions
It tells you what protections are in place for your pensions; and where to find free, impartial guidance. We’d encourage you to read it before making any decisions about your financial future during the pandemic.
We’ve produced this guide in partnership with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), Money and Pensions Service (MaPS), the Pensions Regulator (TPR), the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Pensions Ombudsman.
Read this before making any pensions decisions:https://www.ppf.co.uk/sites/default/files/file-2020-05/COVID-19-and-your-pension.pdf
