Welcome to the Usdaw Pensions website

If you are an Usdaw member looking for help on pensions you have come to the right place!  Usdaw believes that all of our members have the right to a decent pension, to allow them to enjoy their retirement fully. For this we need a fair pensions system where both State and company pensions make a contribution. We know that to achieve good company pensions we need activists who understand how pensions work, so that they can get pensions onto the bargaining agenda. So, on this part of the website, we hope to explain pensions in a simple and understandable way, and encourage members to get active in their own schemes.

The information on this website is intended to be a general guide, and can not be substituted for professional advice. Whilst we attempt to provide up to date and accurate information, the site may contain inaccuracies or typographical errors. On this site we provide links to other websites or pages which are not under the control of Usdaw. These links are for convenience and information, but should not be taken as endorsement or recommendation.
