Pension Wise Service

What is this service and who can access it?

Since 6 April 2015, pensions have changed, giving you more freedom to choose what to do with your pension pot once you turn 50.

 

We offer free and impartial information and guidance to help  Dudley and Wolverhampton residents make the most of your money and pensions. Our service is designed to support you in making your own informed decisions based on your circumstances.

We don’t give legal or regulated financial advice or recommend specific financial products because we aren’t regulated or authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority to do so. This means we can’t tell you what the best option is for you, or what to do with your money or pension. If you’re looking for personalised money or pensions advice or specific product recommendations, you’ll need to see a regulated financial adviser or seek legal advice.

If you need legal advice, you can find a solicitor on the Law Society website: find a solicitor
