The Pensions Primer

This Pensions Primer gives a detailed description of the current pensions system and some of the archaeology of these layers.  The Pensions Primer is intended for people wanting to learn about UK pensions policy.  It should not be used to make individual pensions decisions. 

This version of the Pensions Primer reflects the current position of, and legislated future changes to, the UK pension system as at 5 May 2010.  Any change in Government policy that may occur after that date is not included in this version of the Pensions Primer.
