Pensions Dashboard Update

The Plan continues to progress one of the pension industry’s most significant initiatives - the rollout of the Pension Dashboard. This government-backed project allows individuals to securely access their unclaimed state, private and workplace pension information in one place. This will help individuals to locate lost pensions and view existing ones, not yet in payment, with greater ease.

London & Quadrant Housing Trust Staff Benefits Plan is now set to connect in September 2025, working closely with Hymans Robertson to ensure readiness. This first connection stage will be for testing purposes with full roll out to the public not expected until a later date. The timeframe for this will be set by the Government but is unlikely to be before the summer of 2026 at the earliest.

To ensure the best chance of being able to see all your pension information once the Dashboard is available, you should make sure that all your pension schemes hold up to date information for you.  You can review and update the personal data held for you by London & Quadrant Housing Trust Staff Benefits Plan here.

A recent progress report published in May 2025 highlights several key milestones:

• April 2025 marked the first completed connection by a pension provider.
• Out of 20 volunteer industry participants, 4 have fully connected and a further 6 have completed integration testing, with more currently in progress.
• Final standards for data, technical integration, reporting, and the security-focused Code of Connection were approved by the Secretary of State in March 2025. 

Looking ahead, MoneyHelper’s Dashboard is moving into consumer testing this summer 2025, with moderated sessions followed by broader testing in the autumn. The Pensions Dashboard Programme is also advancing work on private-sector dashboards, engaging with potential commercial operators and regulatory bodies.

Hymans Robertson and the Trustees are addressing identified challenges and ensuring data alignment, improving system integration, and supporting scheme-level readiness. All efforts remain geared towards meeting the September 2025 connection target and contributing to the national rollout of pensions dashboards.
