About the Fund
Pension Tracing
We administer the Local Government Pension Scheme for all local authorities in the West Midlands area. In addition to this we also deal with other employers connected with these local authorities and companies who apply to join the scheme. See the list of employers on the Pension Registrar website if you are unsure if this applies to you.
If you are trying to trace any pension benefits you will need to know the dates of service.
