Regulatory Updates:Authenticated look up service to confirm protections and enhancements

In Lifetime allowance guidance newsletter — December 2023 we told you that in 2025 we will moving the lifetime allowance protection look-up service onto the Managing pension schemes service.

This will allow us to provide additional information to registered pension scheme administrators and practitioners, when checking whether the protection that a member has informed them they are relying on, for a higher lump sum, is valid. We will also update the service to include if a member holds an enhancement as well as protections. We’re looking for scheme administrators and practitioners to help us develop this feature.

You can take part in this user research and give us feedback by joining the Managing pension schemes user panel. To sign up or to get more information email: pensionsuserresearchrecruitment@hmrc.gov.uk.

As a member of the panel, you:

  • Will only be contacted about the Managing pension schemes service
  • Can get involved in testing new features and providing feedback on the service

Your feedback will be invaluable to helping influence the future design and development of the service.
