about us
Our services
The Pensions Advisory Service (TPAS) is here to give people professional, independent and impartial help with their pensions – for free.
Pensions can change people’s lives. Most of us would like to be able to choose to stop work one day and choose how we live when we do. A good pension is a good way to achieve that. Our vision is a future where people are empowered to make the most of their pensions.
We are here to:
- give free, independent information and guidance on pension matters
- resolve problems an individual may have with their pension
- share insight with Government and industry to help develop future pensions policy
Information and guidance for the public
We offer our information and guidance service through a variety of channels including a telephone helpline, web chat, written enquiries, online enquiries and our website.
We're here to help if you’re a member of a UK pension scheme or whether you simply want to know more about these schemes and how they work.
Our service is delivered by in-house pension specialists and volunteer advisers who have typically worked in the pensions industry in roles that have required a high level of technical knowledge.
We can help with all pension matters, including if you have any concerns about your pension arrangement. Remember, no question or concern is too big or small. It’s your pension, you derseve to understand everything.
Pension professionals
Our primary purpose is to help members of the public. While we will always try to be helpful, if you are calling in a professional capacity such as financial advisers, solicitors, scheme trustees or administrators, there are times when we will need to signpost you elsewhere.
Please note too, that while we give information and guidance, we do not and cannot give regulated financial advice.
Pension Wise
We are a delivery partner for the Pension Wise service set up by Government, providing free and impartial guidance about the new pension options. We offer telephone guidance sessions which can be booked by following the instructions here.
