This marks real momentum towards the vision of a single digital view of people’s pensions. --- ### Key Deadline All schemes and providers must be connected to the dashboards ecosystem by **31 October 2026**. While this is the legal deadline, schemes are strongly encouraged to connect earlier to avoid last-minute congestion and risks. ### Current Status - **50m+ pension records connected** (including workplace, personal and State pensions). - Major providers such as Aviva, Nest and People’s Pension are already live. - Surveys from The Pensions Regulator show most schemes are confident of meeting deadlines, though some gaps remain in data readiness and valuation updates. --- ### Data Challenges Success will depend not just on connections but on **data quality**: - Accurate identity data is vital for matching members to their pensions. - Out-of-date or incomplete value data risks undermining trust. - Legacy systems and inconsistent formats remain obstacles. --- ### Why Data Matters Dashboards will only succeed if the data behind them is accurate and consistent. High-quality data means: - Members see the right pensions, with the right values. - Confidence in dashboards grows. - Fewer queries, errors and reputational risks for schemes. --- ### Risks & Next Steps The main risks now are schemes delaying until late 2026, mismatches frustrating users, and insufficient testing before launch. The next critical milestone will be setting the **Dashboard Available Point (DAP)**, when the public can finally access dashboards. No date has yet been confirmed. --- ### Conclusion The connection of over 50 million records is a major achievement, but the real test will be whether data is accurate and ready at scale. For trustees, providers and administrators, the priority must be continued **data cleansing and readiness** ahead of the October 2026 deadline.
