« on: Jun 09, 2017, 09:16:06 AM »
i have been made redundant 3 times during my working life.
i have a pension with each of the 3 employers,but i have not been paying into them since leaving.
do these pensions still make any interest or are they just frozen? ???

My wife has a pension that's been inactive for a number of years but her recent pension statement suggested that interest had been paid.

Depends on the rules of the scheme.
I hope you have kept your paperwork. My wife died in service and the company had lost some of her service records and some of her AVC'S and pension bonus sacrifice.
The excuse they gave was they were not input on to the database in error.

Clive,

The only way of knowing for sure is to contact each company pension scheme administrator and ask them directly - getting replies in writing.  Any other method is not much more than guesswork.
