Welcome to the LPPA Engagement Team
Whether you’re new to the role or have plenty of experience in pensions, the LPPA Engagement Team is here to support you.
UPM employer portal
With more employers moving over to our new pension administration system, we’ve put together a useful resource page for all Phase 1 employers (Bexley, Ealing, LPFA, Hertfordshire, Hammersmith & Fulham and Southern Fire schemes).
This page includes everything from FAQs, training videos and user guides to our new data collection template and recently updated specification document.
LPPA Helpdesk update
As you may be aware, we have started to switch some members over from MPO to our new online portal – PensionPoint. While this is a positive move, it means that the LPPA helpdesk will be busier than normal over the next few weeks and members may experience longer wait times.
Please encourage your employees to use our online contact form for non-urgent queries. And rest assured, we will respond to their calls and queries as soon as possible.
Welcome to Hammersmith & Fulham Pension Fund
On 26 January Hammersmith & Fulham became the latest pension fund to choose LPPA as its administration partner. We’re delighted to welcome them to our list of clients and are looking forward to working together for many years to come.
Year end reminder
As we approach the end of the financial year it is important that you respond to queries and submit any outstanding leavers as soon as possible – especially this year (for LGPS employers), due to the ‘triennial valuation’.
If you need any help submitting leaver information, please visit our Guide to Leavers web page.
Life is for Living video and report
Last year, you may remember we launched our ‘Life is for living’ campaign to try and get a better understanding of what retirement means to members.
After receiving over 12,000 responses to our online survey, we published a report and video of our findings. If you haven’t seen them yet, they’re well worth a look.
