Sometimes the list is updated at short notice to temporarily remove schemes while reviews are carried out, for example, where fraudulent activity is suspected.

Pensions Ombudsman plan to launch online complaints portal 11 October 2019
In the Corporate Plan for 2019-2022, the Pensions Ombudsman have advised of their intention to provide a complaints portal in order to streamline the current complaints process and to reduce the timescales associated with the creation, escalation and resolution of pension-related grievances. The document outlines how new technology will enable people to easily upload documents that are relevant to their case and that there will be a new tracking feature so that individuals will be able to monitor their complaint in a simple and efficient manner which will also manage their expectations in terms of when they can expect to receive a response.
The ombudsman recognises that the new developments will require significant IT input and have stated that they will continue investing in a high calibre of staff to assist with the smooth implementation of new online services.

NEST Insight report into assisting the self-employed with pension savings 14 October 2019
The collaborative research arm of NEST – NEST Insight have published a report that incorporates the results of some recent investigative research that shone the spotlight on how the self-employed can be supported in terms of saving for their retirement and pensions. Individuals who are classed as employees are entitled to save for their pensions through PAYE and receive percentage-based contributions from their employer in line with auto-enrolment legislation. These rules don’t extend to cover self-employed people and so NEST have joined forces with the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) to see if there are any avenues that self-employed people can follow to bolster their savings for retirement.
