Financial Assistance Scheme
It's our duty to protect people with a defined benefit pension when an employer becomes insolvent. We manage 36 billion of assets for our 276,000 members. When the sponsoring employer of a scheme becomes insolvent, insolvency practitioners need to submit an s120 within 14 days. Find out more information about insolvency risk scores, contingent assets and levy rules for 2021/22.

Every year we publish the pensions universe risk profile - the most comprehensive data and analysis of the UK defined benefit pension landscape. They supported our approach to increasing payments to PPF and. As with all defined benefit pension schemes, we use factors to calculate your PPF benefits to make sure we're paying you your correct pension, whether you want to retire before.

From my own personal experience I can tell you that Mrs George Stephanie is one of the best binary options/forex manager I have met in a while on Facebook here, I had lost over $3000 on the advice of managers who have little to no experience. Today I remain grateful to mrs George Stephanie for coming through for me during my early days of trials… and errors. If you’re new to binary and forex options and you’re already giving up, take my advice. Don’t loose your hard earned money unnecessarily. Reach out to a professional team today. Do remember to mention me as your referral

We used the Target Professional (MypensionID) App. To annually verify Id.
Working in IT having used hundreds of Apps, the MypensionID App is the worst I have ever used. It's inability to take a photo or scan a document renders the App almost useless. I understand the photo needs to be in focus so you may not want the user to press a button to… take the photo. But it has taken us over 90 minutes to complete what should be a 3 minute process.
Your reference when taking a photo to cannot detect "liveness' for people who are elderly, in this case a 91 year old. Tells me you don't know what you

They are paying me my pension, from a company that went under, after 37 years service I thought my future income was poor. But I claimed my pension this year and was overwhelmed by the lump sum + monthly payments I am entitled too. Very helpful people on phone. Excellent service. Thank you Ppf for making my future secure.

This fund protected a pension I had from a previous employer who went into receivership. This extra funding meant I could take my works pension and retire when I was made redundant after 29 years.
