How long does it take to find a lost pension?
Start by noting the company name and approximate dates you worked there. Then search using the Government’s database, which is particularly useful if you’re trying to find old pensions that may have moved providers. If the company has changed name, closed, or merged, the database should still provide details of the scheme linked to your employment.
