Pension Information

On 11th February 2008 the Pensions Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 external link was introduced and enabled us to:
  • Make State Pensions fairer and more widely available;
  • Reform State Pensions so that they are simpler and more generous. This will provide a solid foundation on which people can save and make the new scheme of personal accounts more effective;
  • Make it easier for people to save more for their retirement by introducing a new scheme of personal accounts. The new scheme gives those without access to occupational pension schemes the opportunity to save for their retirement; and
  • Support and encourage extended working lives.
Here are some useful links for more information on Pension Credit and State Pension:
