Pensions Dashboard

Pensions Dashboard will allow people to access information for all of their pensions online, securely and all in 
one place. It will provide clear and simple information about a person’s multiple pension savings, including their State Pension.

So that you can see your Local Government Pension Scheme pension on the Pensions Dashboard, we need your most up-to-date information. It is important that your address, email address and telephone number is correct. 

If you think your information may be incorrect, you can register or log into My Pension Online to update this: 
https://mypensiononline.dyfedpensionfund.org.uk/

Alternatively, you can email pensions@carmarthenshire.gov.uk or write to Dyfed Pension Fund, County Hall, Carmarthen, SA31 1JP. If you email or write to us, please include your name, National Insurance number and date of birth.

Dyfed Pension Fund – Pensions Dashboard Implementation Statement

1. Introduction

The Dyfed Pension Fund is committed to supporting the UK Government’s Pensions Dashboard Programme (PDP), which aims to provide individuals with secure online access to their pension information in one place. This statement outlines our approach to preparing for connection to the dashboards ecosystem in line with statutory requirements and best practice guidance.

2. Governance and Oversight

The Pensions Committee and Local Pension Board have been briefed on the dashboard requirements and have endorsed a phased implementation plan. Oversight is provided by the pensions manager, with regular updates scheduled to ensure accountability and progress tracking.

3. Data Readiness

We have undertaken a comprehensive review of our member data using PASA’s Data Guidance and TPR’s “Preparing to Connect” checklist. Key actions include:
• Cleansing and validating member records
• Enhancing matching criteria to improve dashboard search accuracy
• Reviewing AVC and deferred member data for completeness

4. Technical Preparation

The Fund has been working with its software provider to ensure dashboard compliance, including:
• API integration for dashboard connectivity
• Secure authentication protocols
• Real-time response capabilities for dashboard queries

5. Staging Timeline

In accordance with the DWP’s staged timetable, the Dyfed Pension Fund will be connected to the dashboard ecosystem on 31st October 2025 subject to final confirmation from the PDP and our technology partners.

6. Risk Management and Data Processing Impact Assessment (DPIA)

The fund risk register has been updated and a DPIA has been created to identify the potential issues, including:
• Data quality risks
• Cybersecurity and privacy concerns
• Member communication challenges

7. Member Engagement

We have issued communications to scheme members and scheme employers in respect of Pensions Dashboard. This will continue until the Dashboard ‘go live’ date is announced and members will have access to their pension data.

8. Compliance and Reporting

The Fund will comply with all statutory duties under the Pensions Dashboards Regulations and will report any breaches in line with TPR’s guidance.
