In response to feedback from online customers, the Pension Service has launched 'Smart Start to Pensions'.

Smart Start to Pensions can be used as a stand alone guide to planning for retirement and links to other important areas of the Pension Service website where further information can be obtained.

Smart Start to Pensions is designed to help people with little knowledge of pensions to find out how the state system works, and to understand what private pensions are and how they relate to state pensions. Its aim is to help people to make better informed decisions on the actions they take in providing for their income in retirement.
