In line with the staging timetable, all qualifying UK schemes will need to connect to the Pensions Dashboards infrastructure.
This means having digitised records with data good enough to:
- Find the member.
- Calculate an accurate Estimated Retirement Income (ERI).
- Return the relevant member information, including the ERI value.
- Adhere to stringent dashboard security measures.
Although the strict legal requirement is to connect by 31 October 2026, DWP and TPR are very keen for schemes to connect in line with their individual staging dates.
