Professional advice on your Pension Credit
As a result of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act, courts must consider all assets including pension funds when making divorce settlements. The value of pensions funds can be a considerable proportion of total assets, especially if a Final Salary pension scheme is involved.
This site is intended to help those who have been awarded a Pension Credit as a result of a divorce settlement, and need professional advice on what do do with it. Although they can deal with your divorce settlement, many solicitors are not authorised by the Financial Services Authority to give advice on personal or occupational pensions.
Likewise, many independent financial advisers are not authorised by the Financial Services Authority to advise on occupational pension transfers, including Pension Credits.
We are pension transfer specialists and we are also totally independent, meaning that we can look at all of the pension providers on the market and recommend the right course of action for you. This will be after you have spoken to an adviser and provided information to ensure that any advice is tailored to your personal requirements.
Statistically, the vast majority of Pension Credits will be awarded to women from their ex-husbands' pension benefits, so this website will generally refer to the recipient as female.
