    That's why it's a Beta release, so that you can feed back errors, issues and gremlins to the developers.

    I've just given this a go.

    Had an error "cannot verify your identity" after downloading the One Login app and doing the flashing colours selfie scan, but clicking on the link to the dashboard again let me in.

    It's showing 2 of my 3 pensions, with valuations from several months ago.

    My Freetrade SIPP, which I opened over 6 months ago, is missing.

    There weren't any mystery old ones I'd forgotten about unfortunately ;-( (a company I worked for over 20 years ago went bankrupt and had skipped pension payments for several months, I wasn't sure what happened to that pension, but it must have transferred to a new scheme).

    Will be interesting to see what updates are there after the end of October, and how up to date the figures are going forward.

    Hi

    I have a pension with legal & general.

    In August the on line workplace pension account website showed a £5k increase. For 2 full weeks this high value increase and dip slightly. After, 2 weeks £6k was taken off my workplace pension amount- I requested an update from L&G, they said it was an administrative error their side.

    What I cannot understand why this wasn't corrected within a day or 2 - but to leave my pension fund on the high side seems very unusual for a long period of time - especially from a such a large investment company like L&G with all the technology available in today's world.

    I have since gone back to them without a response for 3 weeks.

    Please advise - I am being over sensitive or should I continue to pursue this.

    Your question has nothing to do with the Government pensions dashboard, and is already being discussed on your very own thread.

    It would make more sense to continue discussion on that thread, rather than trying to start again here.

    It's the same comment minus the 7 day fluctuations- which i have read what others have said and agree with the comments.

    I signed up to the dashboard this week.

    It has my state pension correct, which I imagine is the same for everyone.

    My L&G pension is there but the figures are about 95% wrong.

    It's missing my Royal London pension, CSPS Classic and a PIC pension.

    On the plus side its identified one I wasn't aware of, so I'm investigating that at present.

    EDIT: Ah just noticed its not intended to show pensions in payment or had lumps sums taken, so mine might actually be correct.

    wow, never thought this would actually come about! Fairly seamless signup process, shame I couldn't use gov gateway but at least have a gov 1 account now :D

    It found all the pensions I know about which is good, even missing out the ones I've recently transferred, although couldn't give me any details for the 2 with scottish widows (but I already have access to those so not a problem), numbers looked reasonable. Even had projected income from a very old DB pension which the provider struggles to give me via their own website.

    Can I just ask how it searches for your Pensions? Is it based on your National Insurance number ? Just wondering how it copes with a change of name? Thanks.
