Kim Gubler wants dashboards to be launched as soon as possible but notes challenges with personal data matching will mean the primary focus should be on ensuring pensions are correctly found not on displaying income amounts.

The Pensions Dashboards Programme (PDP)’s update outlining its breakdown of what will take place in the next six months of development is unlikely to be feasible, PP readers say.

Schemes need more certainty over the data they will have to provide for dashboards, as the minister is expected to take a heavier stance in 2021, experts say.
