Unclaimed refund and deferred benefit checker

If you worked for an employer that contributed to the South Yorkshire Pension Fund and you were a member of the Local Government Pension Scheme you may have an entitlement to a deferred benefit payable from your normal retirement age or if you only paid into the scheme for a short period of time, a refund of contributions.

By entering your National Insurance Number below we will search our database and advise you if you have either a deferred benefit, an unclaimed refund or no benefit entitlement within the fund. If we do match a record to your details we will also confirm if the match shows we have lost contact with you.
