COVID-19: Click here for the latest updates to our service.
We know pensions can be confusing. Sometimes retirement can seem so far away or maybe you just bury your head in the sand. But we are here to help. We want to make things simple, so you can focus on your future without having to worry about your pension.
When can I take my pension?
You can take your pension anytime from age 55. But if you take your pension before your Normal Pension Age, it will likely be reduced as it is being paid early.
I want to know how much my pension is
The best and quickest way to see the value of your pension, is register and login to your My Pension account. This will show the most recent value of your pension and you can run estimates to see how much it could be when you retire.
How do I update my personal details?
You can update your contact information, death grant nomination and bank details instantly through your My Pension account. Alternatively you can email the Fund at pensions@nespf.org.uk. Be sure to include your name, date of birth and National Insurance number so we can update the right record.
Deferred members can now explore the option of transferring their pension out of the NESPF to an alternative scheme with our My Pension tool.
The NESPF office will be closed from 4pm on Thursday 1 April until Monday 5 April.
How much you pay into your pension depends on exactly how much you earn.
Retirement might have been a long-anticipated event in your life but as your last working day draws closer, the actual process of claiming your pension may seem daunting.
