State Pension

hansi

Is there a website which shows your state pension details such as bank details, to check in case they have transposed or entered wrong numbers etc, or do you still have to phone them? Once the first one goes in it wll be ok, but want to double check.

i think you still have to phone them. but do double check if its worrying you and give it plenty of time before the first payment is due xx

Good heavens, I hope this kind of information is not available on any website!!!

You get a letter from the Pensions Service which gives all the details of the account you've asked to be paid into. If you change the bank then you get another letter. This is sensitive information and must be kept securely!

There is no on-line service to check and amend bank details for State Pension (or any benefit as far as i'm aware). Too risky I would have thought!

It's no different to having your bank details shown when you log into your bank account online, and anyway the letter from the DWP does not give bank details. It just says "We will pay your pension into the account that you have told us" Allsorted now anyway.
