Tracing lost/forgotten pensions

Dawn2808

Tried Gretal and Government tracing page. Although Gretal shows old addresses, nothing else. Government tracing page not helpful either. Too difficult trying to trace if I have any old pensions lying around.

1. Gretal shows old addresses. Old address of what exactly?

2. Have you read through any of these.

Not sure who you mean by 'they' but HMRC will have historical records of pension contributions, accessible by submitting a subject access request.

wasn't there talk of a new gov pension app being launched that would find lost pensions by NI?
