question about the annual keeping you posted newsletter

[buntin]

Hi , just wondering if anyone can give me an answer on this ? I worked for the company for nearly 10 years then left and returned after 5 years elsewhere. Ive been back just over 5 years now and the annual keeping you up to date thing we receive telling you pension contribution etc only includes my contributions since i returned. Should it not also include my contributions for my previous 10 years service too ? Also my wife worked for the company for just over 10 years but left approx 3 years ago but she receives nothing through the post , should she be doing ? Apologies if its a bit of a dumb question by my own admission im a complete duffer when it comes to pensions etc !! Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

Assuming you actually paid in the pension at the time, you should have a deferred final salary pension(section c) from your past employment and I believe you should have been getting statements each year since you left. I should contact the pensions people and ask them why you haven’t been getting them: http://royalmailpensionplan.co.uk/102/contact-us" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Again she should have a deferred pension and should get an annual statement, I know of a couple of people who left years ago and get them! Have you moved house and not told them perhaps? Again contact the pensions service centre.
